Recycling in Alliance: A Local Guide
Alliance, a city of roughly 22,000 in Stark County, Ohio, is served by two distinctly different recycling facilities — one a full-service community drop-off and one a scrap metal and industrial plastics buying yard. Together they handle a wide range of materials from household recyclables to commercial metals and farm plastics.
Alliance Recycling Center, operated by S. Slesnick Co. at 15969 River St NE, is a 35,000-square-foot multi-material processing plant open to residents and businesses alike. Slesnick accepts newspaper, cardboard, mixed paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, steel food cans, glass, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Paper is taken in any quantity with no appointment; Saturday hours (closing at noon) make it convenient for weekday commuters. A valid ID and proof of ownership are required only for certain regulated scrap metal items per Ohio law.
American Recycling Services of Ohio at 803 S Mahoning Ave is a certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) operating under the Carpenter Materials Group. The yard buys ferrous metals (light iron, cast iron, structural steel, machine shop turnings), non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless, high-temperature alloys including Inconel and Monel), and post-industrial plastics across up to 100 grades. Sellers are paid by weight at market rates; veterans receive special bonus pricing. This is not a free municipal drop-off — it is a pay-for-scrap commercial yard open Monday through Saturday.
For household hazardous waste or materials neither facility accepts, Stark County Solid Waste Management District (starksolidwaste.com) provides guidance on HHW collection events and additional resources serving the Alliance area.
