About C & R Metal Recycling
Scrap activity in Fairbanks, Alaska includes C & R Metal Recycling, which handles industrial steel and scrap for inbound sellers. The site takes material from walk-in sellers and contractors across the surrounding county, providing a paid intake channel for inbound scrap metal volume. Public records do not list which material types the team accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. On a practical level, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
