About This Location

Earth First Recycling Inc is a recyclable-materials and scrap-metal wholesaler at 9600 N Virginia St in north Reno, established in 1999. Business directories describe it as handling automotive and industrial scrap and recyclable commodities (including steel, iron and stainless scrap) rather than operating as a walk-in household recycling drop-off. Call ahead to confirm what they take from the public and current buy prices, as the company's own website could not be verified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Earth First Recycling a household recycling drop-off?

Not as far as can be verified. Business directories describe it as a recyclable-materials and scrap-metal wholesaler handling automotive and industrial scrap, which typically serves commercial accounts more than household recyclers. Call 775-626-2286 to confirm whether the public can drop off or sell materials.

What does Earth First Recycling accept in Reno?

Scrap and recycling directories list steel, iron and stainless-steel scrap. The company's own site could not be verified, so confirm the full accepted-materials list and any buy prices with the facility directly.

What are Earth First Recycling's hours?

Business directories consistently list Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Saturday and Sunday. These hours are directory-sourced, so call ahead to confirm before driving over.

Can you get money for recycling in Nevada here?

As a scrap-metal and recyclable-materials buyer, Earth First would pay by weight for accepted scrap. Nevada has no bottle-deposit program, so cans and bottles are not redeemed for a deposit - only sold by weight as scrap where applicable. Confirm what they buy and at what price by phone.
