What We Do

Complete Recycling
Solutions

From your garage to your job site, we handle every type of metal and scrap with the care and professionalism you deserve.

Scrap Metal Collection

Ferrous and non-ferrous metals — aluminum, copper, steel, brass, and more. We sort, weigh, and pay fair market value on the spot.

Automotive Recycling

Old vehicles, engines, catalytic converters, and auto parts. We process them responsibly and ensure hazardous materials are handled safely.

Residential Pickup

Too heavy to haul? We'll come to you. Schedule a convenient pickup from your home or property — no job too small.

Commercial & Industrial

Construction debris, manufacturing scrap, and large-scale metal recovery. Reliable scheduling and competitive volume pricing.

Appliance Recycling

Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and more. We safely extract refrigerants and process every component for maximum recovery.

Specialty Metals

Stainless steel, lead, batteries, radiators, and mixed metal bundles. If it's metal, we can recycle it — and pay you fairly for it.

Built on Trust,
Driven by Responsibility

Cornett's Recycling has been a cornerstone of Wellington's commercial community since 1998. What started as a small family operation has grown into one of the region's most trusted names in metal and scrap recovery — and we're proud of that reputation.

We believe recycling is more than a business — it's a commitment to the land and people of Kentucky. Every ton we process is handled with care, every dollar we pay is fair, and every client is treated like a neighbor.

Cornett's made what I thought would be a hassle completely painless. They showed up on time, weighed everything in front of me, and paid a fair price. I'll definitely use them again.

Local Homeowner Wellington, KY

We've been bringing our construction scrap to Cornett's for years. Consistent pricing, professional crew, and they always have capacity when we need them. That reliability is hard to find.

Regional Contractor Kentucky

I had a large amount of copper and aluminum from a renovation project. They sorted it all correctly and paid significantly more than I expected. Honest people — rare these days.
