Recycling in Big Spring: A Local Guide
Big Spring, the seat of Howard County in West Texas, is served by two recycling facilities with very different purposes. Howard County Recycling handles electronic waste, while Big Spring Iron & Metal is a full-service scrap metal buyer — together they cover the two most common recycling needs for residents in the area.
Howard County Recycling at 1305½ Scurry Street is listed by the Big Spring Area Chamber of Commerce and regional e-waste directories as an electronics recycling drop-off. A third-party directory shows it open Fridays 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM; since the business has no verified official website, calling (432) 270-1905 before your visit is strongly recommended to confirm hours and what specific devices are accepted.
Big Spring Iron & Metal at 101 Wooten Road is a scrap yard that pays cash for ferrous and non-ferrous metal — copper, brass, stainless, iron, aluminum, aluminum cans, and appliances including refrigerators and freezers. It is open Monday through Friday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–12:00 PM. Texas law generally requires a government-issued photo ID to sell scrap, so bring your ID. This is not a household curbside recycling drop-off; it does not accept paper, glass, or non-metal plastics.
