About R J Ruff & Company
R J Ruff & Company is an industrial steel and scrap site set up in Phoenix, Arizona within 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. Posted material categories cover aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list is the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with the directory, which serves as a working baseline for what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical inbound day. Day-to-day hours are recorded. A phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
