About Waste Recycling Inc
The scrap metal recycling business Waste Recycling Inc works out of Opelika, Alabama in Lee County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. On the contact front, a phone line and a website are on file. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
