Elgin Recycling & Scrap Metal is here to help our residential customers keep the Earth green with our residential recycling services. There are so many materials that we use in our daily lives. But after their usefulness to us is done, such as the empty can of pop or the old computer sitting in the garage, each and every item needs to find another home. Recycling can ensure that they are led to the right place, and aren't simply added to landfills.

We at Elgin Recycling & Scrap Metal are committed to giving you the best prices and the best service as well as recycling these items in the most environmentally ethical manner. We have friendly staff that will unload your car, grade your material, weigh your scrap, and pay you cash. If you ever have a question, look for the guys in the red hard hats. These managers are there to make sure that your recycling experience is a positive one.
