Recycling in New Albany: A Local Guide
New Albany, the seat of Union County in northeast Mississippi, is home to two scrap-metal recycling yards that together buy a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from individuals and businesses. Both are for-profit buy yards — sellers bring material to be weighed and paid at current market rates — rather than free municipal drop-offs.
Sims Metal Management Mississippi at 304 W Bankhead Street is part of one of the world's largest metal recycling networks. The New Albany yard accepts steel, iron, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, stainless steel, lead, catalytic converters, radiators, motors, insulated wire, HVAC scrap, automotive scrap (vehicles must arrive free of oils and hazardous fluids), and e-scrap components. No appointment is required. Because operating hours for this specific location are not publicly listed, call (662) 534-3004 to confirm they are open before visiting.
B&M Metals LLC on MS-30 is a locally registered Mississippi scrap-metal dealer that buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals and junk vehicles, with free towing and same-day pickup advertised for scrap cars. Listed hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Mississippi law applies at both yards: sellers must provide a government-issued photo ID, be at least 18, and payment is by check or electronic transfer — no cash.
