About RTS Scrap Metal
In Chatom, Alabama, RTS Scrap Metal 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 site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the operations side, day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, while a phone line is on file. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
