Bootheel Recycling is located in Dexter, Missouri and proudly serves customers from Cape Girardeau and surrounding communities. Cape Girardeau is the largest city in the region, about 50 minutes northeast of our yard at 202 North Harris Drive, and Cape Girardeau County customers make the drive for honest weights on Missouri certified scales, transparent pricing they can see, and a crew that helps them unload. We don't have a Cape Girardeau location — but Cape Girardeau sellers are a valued part of who we serve.

A city the size of Cape Girardeau generates a constant flow of recyclable metal — construction and remodeling offcuts, fabrication scrap, appliances and fixtures, old vehicles, and the copper and aluminum that turns up around any home, shop, or business. Whatever you bring from Cape Girardeau, our team sorts it with you, weighs every grade on certified scales, and explains exactly how your total comes together before you hand anything over.

For more than 20 years, Bootheel Recycling has built its name across Southeast Missouri on fair, transparent pricing and friendly, respectful service in a clean, organized yard. Whether you're a contractor with a recurring load or a homeowner with a single trunk of scrap, you'll get the same honest weights and the same helping hand.
