Recycling in Bridgeport: A Local Guide
Bridgeport Borough, a small river community in Montgomery County along the Schuylkill River, is home to two industrial-scale recycling and materials-processing operations. Both facilities sit close to the water and serve different segments of the recycling market — one focuses on metals, the other on municipal and single-stream recyclables.
Sims Metal — Bridgeport at 358 River Rd is a full-service public scrap-metal drop-off and buying yard operated by one of the world's largest metal recycling companies. Open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the yard purchases all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous metals — from aluminum cans and household appliances to heavy machinery and construction scrap. Electronics recycling (circuit boards, electric motors) is also available. Walk-in customers are welcome with no appointment; a valid government-issued ID is required to receive payment. Note: Freon must be removed from refrigerators and air conditioners before drop-off.
Great Valley Recycling Inc at 315 Sixth St (also known as the J.P. Mascaro & Sons Bridgeport Transfer Station) is a Pennsylvania DEP-permitted municipal waste transfer and single-stream recycling facility authorized to receive up to 600 tons per day. It operates Monday through Saturday from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This is primarily a commercial hauler-intake operation; members of the public should call (610) 272-7100 ahead of a visit to confirm whether self-haul drop-off is currently accepted for their specific material.
