Prohibited Items
While we’re proud to recycle a wide range of metals and materials, certain items are prohibited due to safety concerns, environmental regulations, or legal restrictions. To keep our team and customers safe — and to comply with Oklahoma state laws — please review the list of materials we cannot accept before visiting and avoid a deduction in your payment.
