About South Valley Recyclers
South Valley Recyclers runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Phoenix, Arizona within Maricopa County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. Public records do not list which material types the yard accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. On the operations side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, while a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
