Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii, and the county seat of the county of Honolulu. It has a population of around 350,000 residents as of the 2020 census.
The city is popular for being a tourist destination, with millions of people from all over the world coming into the city to enjoy its extensive beaches, rich natural scenery, and historic landmarks and sites such as the Bishop Museum.
Other than that, Honolulu is a major business and commercial hub with tourism being the largest contributor of the economy. Other important sectors in the city are manufacturing, retail, defense, and technology. It also has a vibrant scrap metal market, which offers sellers a good opportunity to make money on the side.
You can also expect to sell most of the materials at good prices, except copper, which can only be sold by licensed contractors.
The city has many scrap yards where you can expect to get good services. We investigated some of them and found several we can recommend.
A good place around Kalhi Palama would be Reynolds Recycling located on 1385 Colburn Street. They are open every day, and they are quick and efficient. You can also take your materials to Okuda Metals on 1804 Kahai Street, Ace Metal Recycling on 2110 Auiki Street, or CMC Recycling on 204 Sand Island Access Road.
If you have old computers you’d like to scrap, E-Opala Computer Recycling Center would be the best place to be. They are on 1708 Mary Street #96819.
Good places in the southern side of the city are RRR Recycling Services if you are close to Waialae Kahala. They have two facilities, one on 1436 South Beretania Street, and the other on 548 Kapahulu Avenue.
If you are in Sand Island, go to Auto Recycling on 1045 Makepono Street or Oahu Cyber Junkyard on 1061 Mikole Street.
