Scrap metal

Accepted with preparation

Scrap metal is dropped off free at the Material Recycling Facility, and a small appliance that holds no refrigerant and is made primarily of metal can be dropped off with the scrap metal.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Woonsocket residents dropping scrap metal at the Material Recycling Facility on River Street, with no sticker required for any city property. A small appliance that holds no refrigerant and is made primarily of metal can be included with the scrap metal, and the city large item list also puts metal pipes, cabinets, radiators, metal doors, metal sheds cut to four feet and metal swing sets at the facility.
When & how
Take the metal to 943 River Street, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., excluding holidays.
Get it ready
Cut long metal to the length the facility accepts, empty and clean anything that held fuel or refrigerant, and keep an appliance that contains refrigerant separate from ordinary scrap because a cooling unit needs its own handling. Ask at the gate before bringing a fuel tank, since a cut oil tank is refused.

Tires and metal go to different places

Scrap metal belongs at the River Street facility with no sticker, and a small metal appliance that holds no refrigerant can go with it, while tires have no Woonsocket route at all and must go to the statewide options, the Resource Recovery drop-off in Johnston or a tire dealer. Pianos, organs, pool tables and oil tanks cut in half are refused by the city program altogether.

Drop it at the Material Recycling Facility on River Street

Any Woonsocket household with electronics, a mattress, scrap metal, white goods, batteries, propane, textiles, cardboard or extra recycling to drop off at no charge.

Cost & conditions
No charge. All Woonsocket residents for the items the city list assigns to the facility, with proof of residency and identification for electronics and mattresses and no sticker required. White goods are accepted free including units that still hold refrigerant, and scrap metal is free.
Arrange it
Drive to 943 River Street during the posted hours, show residency for the sensitive items, and use the Swap Shed for reusable small goods if the item still works.

The facility only takes the item categories the city assigns to it, so a sofa, wooden desk, porcelain sink, toilet, window, wooden swing set, piano, pool table or cut oil tank has to use the sticker route or another outlet. A mattress has to pass an on-site inspection and be bagged and sealed by the resident.
