Rather Recycling

Hours: Rather Recycling is a convenient and friendly scrap yard located less than a mile off Interstate 65. Customers appreciate the helpful staff and clear communication, which makes unloading and payment quick—often in about 15 minutes. The facility offers good, honest prices, with rates around 7.5 cents per pound for metals like copper. A notable feature is the large magnet provided to assist with unloading iron and steel from trailers. The yard is easy to access, though it could benefit from better organization of entry and exit instructions, especially for first-time visitors. Unique touches, such as a macaw at the payout window, add a fun vibe. Overall, it’s a great place for recycling with helpful employees and straightforward processes.
