About R & B Recycling Center
R & B Recycling Center is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Phoenix, Arizona in Maricopa County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. Sellers can bring in brass and copper for processing at the site, per the categories the yard filed with our directory. The list runs the typical inbound mix and serves as a working baseline when planning a load, though the printed categories are inevitably less granular than day-to-day reality. The directory entry shows a phone line and a website are on file, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. 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.
