Recycling Center in Picayune, Mississippi
About This Location
Picayune Scrap – Romes Recycling is a scrap-metal and auto-salvage yard at 1727 Highway 11 South in Picayune, Mississippi (Pearl River County).

Verified listings show it buys automobiles, iron, tin, copper, aluminum, brass, lead, and aluminum cans. This is a commercial scrap buyer and junkyard, not a municipal drop-off for household recyclables such as glass, plastic, or cardboard. Because scrap prices change with commodity markets, most sellers call ahead at (601) 799-1701 to confirm current rates before hauling in a load.
