Earn Cash for Your Unwanted Items

Bring in your unwanted  non-ferrous, ferrous and white goods to Wauconda Recycling Center and walk out with cash! You can earn money while helping to save our environment.


We have onsite wire processing machinery that separates and removes insulation from the insulated copper and aluminum wire.  Because we do this in house, we can recover more metal and offer more competitive prices.  Also our knowledge of the copper markets ensures that your material will be recycled responsibly and allows us to offer the highest market price for your material.



If you don't see an item you have on the list below, call (847) 865-0911 and we'll let you know if we can accept it.
