Where We Recycle
We take recycling seriously, and that starts with partnering with the right local facilities. Cardboard, yard debris, and other green waste are hauled to Yavapai County transfer stations that accept clean, sorted recyclables. For scrap metal and large appliances, we work with trusted local metal recyclers who ensure proper material recovery and environmental compliance. When we pick up items that still have life left in them—like gently used furniture or household goods—we make every effort to donate them to local charities, thrift stores, or community reuse centers. Our goal is to minimize landfill waste and give as much as possible a second life.
The Cost of Recycling
We believe recycling is worth it—but it isn’t free. While many people assume recycled items are simply “dropped off” instead of dumped, the reality is that eco-friendly junk removal often comes with added time, labor, and disposal fees.
Recycling properly requires:
Sorting and separation of materials to meet facility guidelines
Longer drive times to reach recycling centers or drop points that may be farther away than the nearest landfill
Smaller, less efficient loads to avoid contamination or damage to recyclable items
Additional handling for certain items, like appliances with refrigerants or scrap metal that must be separated by type
In some cases, the disposal cost at a recycling facility is equal to or even higher than the landfill—but we choose to offer this service because we care about our community, our land, and the impact we leave behind.
When you choose Copper State Junk Removal for recycling services, you’re not just getting rid of junk—you’re helping keep Northern Arizona clean, responsible, and landfill-light.
