About Miles Recycling

Scrap activity in Arcata, California includes Miles Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling 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. Posted material categories cover copper. 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. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
