River Valley Recycling
Although we specialize in recycling scrap metals, we are not your typical metal scrap yard. We seek to offer the best experience for our customers, by providing clean and organized facilities, friendly knowledgeable staff, efficient operations, and of course great prices! Most importantly, we have a strong reputation in our community for honest business conduct.

When you do business with us, we hope you'll notice how we stand out above the rest. We began as a general scrap metal business in 2004 that focused on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The business has grown its operations in order to collect a wider variety of recyclable materials, handle larger volumes, and develop processes that convert these recyclable materials into a reusable form.
Services
Bring your materials to our location and we will pay you for bringing them in (some materials excluded) and make it as quick and easy as possible. We have a new and improved steel yard. Our steel yard has been revamped, based on customer input. We made these changes keeping our #1 priority in mind, getting you in and out as quickly and conveniently as possible.
We have knowledgeable staff. If you have something to recycle, but don't know what it is, bring it in to our location and one of our buyers can determine the grade and price we could pay for it. And remember, no matter what the size of your scrap, big or small, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
We are aggressively buying catalytic converters and are offering the best available prices in order to earn your business. Whether you are local and able to drop off your catalytic converters or you need to ship them, we strive to make it an easy process so you can be paid as quickly as possible! 1. Submit Quote Request - Fill in the quote request form with your information, catalytic converter(s) details, and attach photos.
Note: A one-trip container is manufactured overseas, loaded with cargo, and shipped to the US. Once it arrives, the cargo is unloaded, and the container is sold. It has made only 'one trip', which is why it is called a one-trip container. A = Good paint on exterior, and decent interior paint, minor rust, good roof, good doors, and good floors.
You may find many ways to contact us through the Contact Us page. Below is a list of many common questions. Prices fluctuate with the market and may change daily. We do not supply customers with price sheets because the prices change without notice and we want to guarantee the most competitive prices.

They bought my car that didn't run, very smooth process. Had it dropped off there and was in and out under 5 minutes. I also recycle my aluminum cans there regularly, great people to work with!

Kyle contacted me right away, asked for pictures of the vehicle I wanted towed, even came and looked at the location to get a game plan, gave me a time and quote, and showed up right on time and got the vehicle out very quickly. Definitely recommend him!

This was an overall great experience! From the moment we called to get an estimate on our junk car to the moment it was picked up the team was amazing. We talked to Kyle over the phone and he was very helpful and was able to offer a very reasonable price. He was on time and provided great communication; the entire pickup process was also very well handled. 10/10 would recommend for any recycling car needs.

Five Stars! Great service, price and the willingness to work with my schedule means a lot me. I purchased a very nice shipping container and was able to get rid of an old car all in the same afternoon of the container delivery. I am sure that I will be doing more business with RVR in the future. Thanks!

River valley recycling picked up my truck and did an awesome job. Showed up on time and had my truck towed in no time. The price we agreed upon was the cash I received. Great experience and would highly recommend them. Very professional business.
