This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, Full Circle Recycling in Lancasterville, PA scores 95/100 with a clearly positive trend. Customers highlight friendly, professional staff and quick in-and-out service, clear guidance for first-timers, an organized, clean yard, and easy access. Pricing is generally seen as fair, though a few mention lower payouts for light iron/low‑grade wire and occasional classification disputes on electronics—so pricing consistency is the main gripe. Wait times are short. Reviews focus on scrap drop-off; there’s little about parts inventory or finding parts.

Good option depending on what you have. I recently took about 1,500 lbs of light iron there plus some other miscellaneous stuff that I wanted to clear out. I did not bring brass or copper aside from low grade wire bc it will be worth it to me to build up until I have a lot and go to a yard farther away that pays more. They paid 6 cents for light iron and 80 cents for low grade wire, and the process was easy. Lady at desk was very friendly. I'll go back for those reasons. However, they were going to classify my circuit boards and power supplies as light iron. At worst they should be low grade boards. That's why I'm giving 4, and not 5, stars
First time going to this place and I will go back! the lady at the desk was very helpful, telling me where to go and what to do. The worker grabbed a bin for me to toss my stuff into and then i got paid. Any $ was beneficial, i was just looking to make space in my garage.
I took aluminum cans and some scrap metal to Full Circle and had a great experience. The office was helpful explaining the process and where to go for a first timer. I walked away with almost $40 so I was happy! I’ll be back again
Full Circle Recycling is a great local resource. I've dealt with them several times and have always had a smooth and professional experience. Recycling is more than putting cans out on the curb. Here in Lancaster, only ferrous metals are reclaimed after being incinerated, so that leaves significant amounts of non-ferrous metals that end up in the landfill. So much of what gets discarded can be reused and Full Circle is the first step in that process. They pay a fair price for the items, so it's always worth your while to come in.
