Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to sell copper or brass at A & P Recycling Co?

Yes. South Carolina law requires a nonferrous permit to sell copper, aluminum (other than aluminum cans), brass, stainless steel, lead, or batteries. The permit is issued by your county sheriff's department — or by any South Carolina county sheriff's office if you live out of state. You must also show a valid government-issued photo ID at the time of sale.

Will A & P Recycling buy my old car, and what do I need to bring?

Yes, the yard accepts scrap vehicles. Bring a state-issued photo ID and a clear title proving ownership. If you don't have a title, a magistrate's order of sale or sheriff's certificate may be substituted. Call 803-775-8383 or toll-free 888-201-1787 for current vehicle pricing before you arrive.

Can I drop off an old refrigerator or washer at A & P Recycling?

Yes, appliances are accepted, but preparation is required: the compressor must be removed and all fluids must be drained before arrival. Call ahead for current pricing on appliance scrap, as rates change with commodity markets.
