Recycling in Mills: A Local Guide
Mills is a small town in Natrona County that sits directly west of Casper, Wyoming, and is home to two full-service scrap metal recycling yards that serve the entire greater Casper area. Both facilities are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, purchase ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the public, and require no appointment for standard drop-offs.
Pacific Steel & Recycling at 130 Hudson St is part of a 100% employee-owned national company and offers one of the broadest material lists in the area. Beyond ferrous scrap (steel, cast iron, vehicles, appliances) and non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminum, lead, radiators), the facility runs a dedicated e-recycling program accepting laptops, PCs, cell phones, circuit boards, servers, and hard drives — though televisions are not accepted. Ferrous metals are paid in cash; non-ferrous metals by check. No minimum load is required. Catalytic converters are accepted with a valid photo ID plus vehicle title or registration.
Wyoming Steel & Recycling Iron & Metals at 3400 W Yellowstone Hwy is a family-owned operation founded in 1987 by Dennis and Sherry Rivett that has grown into a multi-faceted facility with a drive-thru non-ferrous recycling warehouse, a large scrap steel yard, and a new-steel sales building. In addition to the full spectrum of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, the yard accepts old appliances and takes cardboard, newspaper, office paper, and tin cans for free. Roll-off container service is available at no rental fee for customers in the local Casper area.
