Scrap metal

Accepted with preparation

Metal is one of the materials the county transfer station recycles, and it takes a wide range of items from food cans to lawn mowers and clothes dryers. The Jonas Ridge convenience centre also takes metal on its own.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Metal is accepted for recycling at the county transfer station, and the recycling list names food and drink cans, lawn mowers, metal lamps, toasters, clothes dryers and microwave ovens among accepted items. Confirm whether a household disposal fee applies to your load when you arrive.
When & how
Drop-off at the county transfer station on Marsh Trail, or at the Jonas Ridge convenience centre for metal. Confirm current hours with the county before travelling.
Get it ready
Keep metal out of the household garbage and separate it from construction debris. Drain fuel from any powered equipment before you take it, and note that the county does not accept vehicles, boats, RVs, golf carts, riding lawn mowers, ATVs or tractors.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Morganton residents can take material to the John's River Waste Management Facility at 2500 Marsh Trail, where a transfer station handles general household waste and recycling and a separate landfill takes construction and demolition debris. Metal and clean tires are recycled there, tires without rims at no charge, and cardboard is accepted only in corrugated form. The county does not accept gasoline or kerosene anywhere on site, and household hazardous waste such as oil-based paint, solvents and oven cleaner has to go elsewhere. The city and county pages reviewed do not publish the facility hours and the county page carried a notice that landfill phones were down, so call 828-764-9071 before you load a vehicle.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
