Union County, NJ’s Most Trust Metal Recycling CompanyUnion County, NJ

Scrap Metal Recycling in Union County, NJ

Union County is one of New Jersey’s most densely populated and industrially active counties, and home to busy cities like Elizabeth, Linden, and Plainfield, along with a thriving mix of contractors, manufacturers, auto shops, and residential communities. That kind of activity generates a lot of scrap metal, and Klein Recycling has been here to handle it since 1947.

Family-owned and operated for over 75 years, Klein Recycling is one of the tri-state area’s largest privately-owned metal recycling companies. We serve everyone from Union County homeowners with leftover renovation materials to major commercial and industrial operations running continuous scrap programs. No matter the size of your project, we make the recycling process simple, fast, and profitable.

Convenient Drop-Off & Pick-Up Options

We know that hauling scrap isn’t always convenient, which is why we’ve built our process around making it as easy as possible for Union County customers.

Walk-In Drop-Offs

You’re welcome to bring your scrap metal directly to our yard any time during regular business hours. No appointment necessary — just pull in, and our team will unload, sort, and weigh your materials on our state-certified scales. You’ll get paid on the spot. Whether you’re a homeowner dropping off leftover copper pipe from a bathroom remodel or a contractor unloading a truckload of steel from a job site, we handle it all efficiently and professionally.

Scheduled Pick-Ups

Have a large quantity of scrap or materials that are difficult to transport? We’ll come to you. Klein Recycling operates a large fleet of trucks, roll-off containers, trailers, and hoppers to accommodate pick-ups of all sizes — from a single container swap to a full industrial removal. Just give us a call or email dispatch to schedule a time, and we’ll coordinate around your project timeline.

Container Programs for Ongoing Accounts

If your Union County business generates scrap on a regular basis, ask us about setting up an ongoing container program. We’ll place the right size container at your facility — sealed, covered, or open — and handle regular pick-ups on a schedule that works for you. It’s a hands-off solution that keeps your operation clean and turns scrap into a consistent revenue stream.

Forklifts and hi-lows (all brands, all conditions)
Electric pallet jacks and stand-up riders

Here’s what makes us different from typical junk car buyers: we are the recycling facility.

We’ll also pick up your vehicle free of charge, with no towing fees and no hidden deductions.

Our junk vehicle services include:

Cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans — all makes, models, and years
Running or non-running vehicles accepted
Free vehicle pick-up throughout Union County
