About Central Recycling Services
Central Recycling Services, a scrap metal recycling business in Anchorage, Alaska, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
