About Star Recycling, Inc.
In Birmingham, Alabama, Star Recycling, Inc. is a scrap metal recycling business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. 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. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
