Albany Recycling Center

Opened in 2008, Albany Recycling Center has quickly become Central Minnesota's go to location for recycling of a wide-range of materials. You would be correct in referring to us as a 'drop-off' recycling center, but that term is far too vague to encompass all that we do. From sponsoring area recycling drives to handling statewide and even nationwide business accounts, at Albany Recycling Center we are much more than your local recyclable drop-off site.As a full-service recycling center we handle many types of materials on a day to day basis, including materials that we BUY from you (copper, aluminum, etc.), materials that you can deliver FREE of charge (computer keyboards, speakers, etc.) and products that are accepted for a SMALL fee (appliances, TVs, etc.). From scrap metal to e-waste, we buy, accept and recycle just about anything.

Our company opened operations in the beginning of 2008; at the time we operated as Freeport Recycling and were located in Freeport, MN. Within a few short years we added various services and quickly out-grew our Freeport recycling facility. After a real estate search we opted for a move to Albany, MN – just a few short miles down I-94. In 2010 we completed our move to a larger facility located in the same lot as the Albany Chrysler Center. Along with the move came an appropriate name change, thus we now operate as Albany Recycling Center.2016 brought about another location change, still in Albany, we now reside on County Road 10 just a short drive past the hardware store.

Today we enjoy our newest facility and work to fulfill the recycling needs of local residents as well as maintain our recycling contracts with area businesses. As a fully registered Minnesota collector and recycler we continually maintain our knowledge regarding the best and most acceptable recycling practices for all materials we accept. And as a full-service recycling center we strive to pass our recycling knowledge onto you, we feel even the smallest tip can make a difference.

E-Waste

E-Waste, short for electronic waste, is the term given to common electronic products (computer monitors, printers, keyboards, etc.) that are no longer useable or are nearing the end of their 'expected life spans.' Due to today's high demand for the latest electronic products and the call for continuous technological advancements we've seen a tremendous rise in electronic discards. In fact, electronic products are one of the fastest growing discard segments within today's waste industry. Fortunately our professional staff at Albany Recycling Center is able to properly dispose of many e-waste products.
