Recycling in Bronx: A Local Guide
This page lists 10 recycling centers and facilities in the Bronx, New York, from scrap yards in Hunts Point to bottle redemption near Co-op City. For everyday household recycling, the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) provides free curbside collection to all Bronx residents: one stream for metal, glass, plastic and cartons, and a separate stream for mixed paper and cardboard. Material is set out in a labeled bin of 55 gallons or less after 6 p.m., or a clear bag after 8 p.m. See other boroughs and cities in our New York recycling directory.
The listings here are weighted toward commercial scrap and metal recycling rather than household drop-off. Sims Metal Management on Edgewater Road is one of the largest operators, alongside All City Recycling and Pascap Co. Inc. For New York State nickel deposit containers, AGA Bottle Return handles can and bottle redemption. Call any yard before visiting to confirm accepted materials, hours and whether they buy from the public.
If a Bronx site cannot take your item, other parts of the city are close by. See Brooklyn and New York (Manhattan), plus the Queens neighborhoods of Flushing, Long Island City and Jamaica. The full New York state directory links every listed city.

Where can I recycle scrap metal in the Bronx?

How do I set out recycling in a Bronx apartment building?
