About First Street Recycling
First Street Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Dayton, Ohio within Montgomery County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
