About Palm Springs Recycling
Scrap sellers in and around Cathedral City, California can take material to Palm Springs Recycling, a scrap metal recycling business within Riverside County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The accepted-categories field on this listing is currently empty in our directory, with no inbound types specified. On the operations side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, while a phone line appears 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. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
