Bring it in. We'll handle the rest.
Whether you're stopping in with everyday CRV redemption or bringing in recyclable metals, our yards are organized so every visit is quick and easy to navigate.
Our Hoblitt Avenue yard runs professional material handlers to unload, sort and process your loads — and your metal goes back into the supply chain, not the landfill.
We recycle almost anything
Aluminum cans
Recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy needed to make new metal.
Why recycle aluminum cans?
Recycling aluminum uses about 95% less energy than making it from raw ore, and a recycled can can be back on the shelf as a new can. In California you also get your CRV refund back.
How to bring it
- Rinse and empty them. CRV pays 5¢ per container under 24 oz and 10¢ at 24 oz or more.
- Small loads are paid by count (up to 50 of each material); larger loads by weight.
CRV glass
Glass can be recycled endlessly without losing quality or purity.
Why recycle crv glass?
Glass can be recycled over and over without losing quality, and using recycled glass takes roughly half the energy of making it from raw materials. It also keeps bottles out of the landfill.
How to bring it
- Bring whole, empty bottles, sorted away from cans and plastic.
- Milk and infant-formula containers carry no CRV, so leave those out.
CRV plastic
Recycling plastic reduces pollution and conserves fossil-fuel resources.
Why recycle crv plastic?
Recycling plastic keeps containers out of landfills and waterways and reduces the fossil fuels needed to make new plastic. California’s CRV program pays you to bring it in.
How to bring it
- Empty the container and keep it separate from your glass and aluminum.
- Same CRV rates as cans. Milk jugs carry no CRV.
Copper
Recycled copper retains 100% of its properties and uses far less energy than mining.
Why recycle copper?
Recycled copper saves up to about 85% of the energy needed to mine and process new copper, and it can be recycled again and again without losing its properties.
How to bring it
- Bare, clean copper is easiest to grade. Sort it by type and keep it apart from brass.
- Non-ferrous sales need a valid photo ID under California law. Call for today’s pricing.
Brass
Recycling brass saves energy and reduces the need for new metal extraction.
Why recycle brass?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that melts down and gets reused, which saves energy and reduces the need to mine new metal.
How to bring it
- Brass won’t stick to a magnet. Keep it separate from copper and other metals.
- A valid photo ID is required for non-ferrous sales. Call for today’s pricing.
Scrap aluminum
Scrap aluminum is recycled efficiently, saving energy and reducing environmental impact.
Why recycle scrap aluminum?
Scrap aluminum from siding, gutters, rims and old equipment can be melted and reused. Recycling it uses about 95% less energy than making new aluminum.
How to bring it
- Keep it separate from your CRV cans. Remove plastic, rubber and steel parts first.
- A valid photo ID is required for non-ferrous sales. Call for today’s pricing.
Stainless steel
Stainless is durable and fully recyclable, processed for reuse.
Why recycle stainless steel?
Stainless is durable and fully recyclable. Recycling it keeps valuable metal in use and cuts the energy and mining needed to make new steel.
How to bring it
- Most stainless won’t stick to a magnet, but some grades do. Not sure? Ask us.
- Keep it separate from other metals. Call for today’s pricing.
Iron & steel
Iron is recycled to reduce raw-material extraction and support industrial reuse.
Why recycle iron & steel?
Steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. Recycling it saves roughly 60 to 75% of the energy of making steel from ore.
How to bring it
- A magnet sticks to iron and steel. Drain fluids and remove plastic, rubber and wood.
- Call ahead for heavy or oversized loads.
Tin
Recycling tin reduces mining waste and conserves valuable raw materials.
Why recycle tin?
Recycling tin-plated steel cans and scrap reduces mining waste and keeps usable metal out of the landfill.
How to bring it
- Do the magnet test. Tin-plated steel sticks, so keep it with your ferrous metals.
- Empty and rinse food cans before you bring them.
Cardboard
Clean cardboard saves trees, water and energy while reducing landfill waste.
Why recycle cardboard?
Recycling cardboard saves trees, water and energy and keeps bulky waste out of the landfill.
How to bring it
- Clean, dry cardboard is best.
- Bringing a large volume? Call the Hoblitt yard first so we can tell you what to expect.
Sort. Weigh. Get paid.
Sort it
Separate aluminum, glass and plastic. For scrap, split ferrous (magnet sticks) from non-ferrous. Five minutes of sorting at home saves you time at the scale.
Weigh it
Our team inspects and weighs your load in front of you. Small loads can be paid by count — larger loads are paid by weight.
Get paid
Walk out with your refund or scrap payout. CRV loads are paid at California's state rates; for scrap, call or stop in for today's pricing.
What to know before you come
Bring a valid photo ID for non-ferrous metals, sort your metals, and call for today's pricing.
Bring photo ID
California law requires recyclers to record seller identification on non-ferrous metal sales like copper, brass and aluminum.
Sort your metals
A magnet sticks to iron and steel. It doesn't stick to copper, brass or most aluminum. Keeping them separate speeds up your visit.
Call for pricing
Scrap prices change with the market. Call the Hoblitt yard at (559) 299-8807 for today's rates.
Two Clovis locations, one call away
Scrap metal goes to Hoblitt Avenue. Cans, glass and plastic can go to either location.
