Recycling in Gering: A Local Guide
Gering, Nebraska — the county seat of Scotts Bluff County in the Panhandle — lists two recycling-oriented facilities serving residents and businesses across the Scottsbluff–Gering metro area. The two sites are specialized rather than general: one handles paper and document recycling, the other automotive and scrap-metal recycling.
Docu-Shred at 185 E M St is a locally owned, FMCSA-registered document-shredding and paper-recycling business founded in 2009. It runs shredding trucks across western Nebraska and Wyoming and operates an on-site warehouse with paper and cardboard balers, so confidential documents are destroyed and then baled for recycling rather than landfilled. It accepts office paper, computer paper, newspaper, magazines, junk mail, cardboard, and aseptic drink boxes — but as a for-hire carrier it serves by scheduled pickup or appointment (Mon–Fri 8 AM–5 PM), not as an unstaffed drop-off bin. It also periodically hosts free community shred days for small quantities of personal documents; call (308) 672-3330 to ask about upcoming dates.
Midwest Auto Used Parts at 2400 10th St is a full-service automotive salvage yard and scrap-metal recycler with nearly a century of history in the region, founded in 1926. Spread across 13 acres with more than 50,000 parts in stock, it buys junk and end-of-life vehicles and processes ferrous scrap (steel/iron) as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, copper, and catalytic converters. Used auto parts — including engines, transmissions, and tires — are sold to the public with nationwide shipping available. The yard is a member of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) and open Monday through Friday 8 AM–5 PM (Mountain time); it is closed weekends.
