American Metal Recycling
Recycling Center in Claremont, New Hampshire
About This Location
American Metal Recycling (operating as American Recycling & Disposal Co.) is a family-owned scrap metal yard at 38 Industrial Blvd in Claremont, NH, serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Sullivan County and the broader Upper Valley region. The facility buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals directly—copper, heavy iron, unprepared iron, aluminum, insulated wires, automotive batteries, industrial batteries, and non-functioning fully drained automobiles—and pays market-rate cash for qualifying loads. Drop-offs are welcome at the yard; the company also offers mobile pickup, roll-off dumpster rentals, and on-site weighing for larger projects. This is a for-profit scrap purchasing operation, not a municipal drop-off recycling center—customers are paid for accepted metals rather than charged a disposal fee.
