About L & W Surplus
L & W Surplus is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Decatur, Alabama within Morgan County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. For practical details, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
