Recycling Center in Sturgis, South Dakota
About This Location

Bring in aluminum and cans, copper, brass, stainless steel, tin, lead, scrap iron, radiators, electric motors, electrical wiring, catalytic converters and most appliances — R&N weighs the load and pays market-rate prices rather than charging a drop-off fee.

The yard runs a weekday schedule, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and is closed on weekends. Call 605-347-5785 for current pricing or to schedule a container.
