Bee Green Recycling
Recycling Center in Richmond, Virginia
About This Location
Bee Green Recycling is a scrap metal buyer at 3609 Nine Mile Rd in Richmond, Virginia, billed as Central Virginia's only fully enclosed scrap metal recycling facility, so it operates year-round regardless of weather. The yard buys almost all types of scrap metal (with a few exceptions for EPA and safety reasons) and pays cash at current market rates. You drive in, staff help unload and sort, and you get paid on the spot. This is a paying scrap yard rather than a municipal recyclables drop-off.
