WHAT WE TAKE
SCRAP METAL • FULL CAR BODIES • CONTAINER DROP OFF
That pop can that you’re drinking out of has probably been recycled. That beer you had at the lake over the weekend?
Probably Recycled, too!
The earth has a finite number of natural resources, and the recycling of metal goods helps turn that old aluminum can into a brand new beverage can, ready for you to enjoy.
At Lakeside Auto Recyclers, we’re happy to be doing our part. We want your Scrap Metal, Full Car Bodies and Container Drop Offs!
