Recycling in Waynesboro: A Local Guide
Waynesboro, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, is home to two private scrap-metal buying yards that serve residents and businesses across the borough and surrounding township. Neither charges a drop-off fee — both pay sellers by weight at current market rates for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Newcomer's Truck Parts at 6405 Nunnery Road is a long-running scrap-metal recycler and auto/truck salvage yard. It buys a wide range of metals — aluminum (extrusions, cans, wheels), copper (bare bright through insulated wire), brass, steel, stainless, lead, radiators, AC condensers, starters, alternators and transmissions — as well as catalytic converters (individually priced at the office) and complete scrap vehicles (valid title required). Roll-off container service is also available. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon.
American Recycling Services at 6200 Mt Zion Road is a scrap-metal buying yard and licensed industrial hauler (USDOT 726915). It pays cash for copper (including tubing and ACR), brass and brass radiators, aluminum sheet and cans, all grades of steel, iron and stainless steel. Beyond walk-in drop-off, the company operates industrial roll-off containers and pickup hauling — useful for larger cleanouts. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–2 PM.
Neither yard handles household recyclables such as glass, plastics or mixed paper. For those materials, Franklin County's municipal recycling program and Waynesboro's curbside service are the appropriate options. Call each yard before visiting to confirm current scrap prices, as rates change with the metals market.
