Recycling in Tupelo: A Local Guide
Tupelo, the seat of Lee County in northeast Mississippi, has two listed recycling facilities serving different needs: a public-facing scrap metal yard and a commercial fiber processor. Residents should note the distinction before making a trip.
SMC Recycling and Porta John Rental at 1000 Park Lake Road is the public-facing option. Open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, this family-owned yard has operated across northeast Mississippi and southwest Tennessee since 1998. It pays fair market prices for copper (all forms), aluminum (cans, siding, wheels, window frames), brass, steel, cast iron, stainless steel, lead, auto batteries, appliances, water heaters, auto radiators, and complete scrap vehicles — with a portable car crusher on site. There is no drop-off fee; the facility pays sellers by weight. Industrial and commercial pick-up service is also available. Call (662) 842-6060 for current rates.
Tupelo Recycling at 669 Westmoreland Dr now operates as part of FV Recycling, which acquired the former Tupelo Recycling paper business in 2024. This is a commercial and industrial processor handling corrugated cardboard, paper, plastics, and aluminum — primarily serving business accounts. The Mississippi DEQ lists it as a private recycler. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Residential drop-off is not confirmed; call (662) 407-0708 before visiting to verify whether walk-in delivery is accepted for your materials.
