Serving Charleston · Mississippi County

A trusted scrap yard for Charleston — based in Dexter

Bootheel Recycling is located in Dexter, Missouri and proudly serves customers from Charleston and surrounding communities. Charleston is the seat of Mississippi County, about 45 minutes northeast of our yard at 202 North Harris Drive, and Charleston customers regularly make the drive for what we're known for: honest weights on Missouri certified scales, transparent pricing they can see, and a crew that helps them unload. We don't have a Charleston location — but Charleston sellers are a valued part of who we serve.

Charleston sits in the heart of the Bootheel's farm country, and that means a steady supply of recyclable metal — worn implements, irrigation pipe, grain-bin steel, old vehicles, and the everyday aluminum and copper that piles up around a home or shop. Whatever you're bringing in from Charleston, our team sorts it with you, weighs every grade on certified scales, and explains exactly how your total adds up before you ever hand it over.

For more than 20 years, Bootheel Recycling has built its reputation across Southeast Missouri on fair, transparent pricing and friendly, respectful service. We focus on doing right by every customer — first-timers and longtime haulers alike — in a clean, organized yard that's easy to get in and out of. Charleston customers tell us the honesty and the help unloading are exactly why the drive is worth it.
