Recycling in Suffolk: A Local Guide
Suffolk, Virginia's largest city by area, has two scrap metal recycling yards serving residents and businesses. Both are cash-for-scrap buyers, not free municipal drop-offs — you bring metal and they pay you by weight at current market rates.
Suffolk Recycling Center (Hosier Daddy Metals LLC) at 1177 Hosier Rd buys all ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal plus junk and salvage vehicles. A notable convenience: scrap cars are taken as-is — no need to drain fluids, remove the gas tank or pull the tires first. The yard is open Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM to noon. Call (757) 514-1357 for a quote before visiting, as scrap prices change daily.
Arzillo Recycling at 960 Portsmouth Blvd is a locally owned, family-operated scrap metal specialist that the City of Suffolk's official solid-waste page lists as its recommended scrap metal resource for residents. Arzillo pays competitive rates for aluminum, copper, brass, compressors, radiators, pumps, electric motors and stainless steel. All materials must be under 5 feet in length before arrival. Hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM; Saturday hours vary — call (757) 539-8593 to confirm. Arzillo also offers pickup service, roll-off containers and machinery dismantling for commercial customers. Note: electronics are not accepted at Arzillo.
