About Aldred Scrap Metals-Steel Mill
Aldred Scrap Metals-Steel Mill is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Durham, California within Butte 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. The business works with steel on its inbound side, per the directory. The categories shown are the yard's own self-reported take — a working baseline of what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical day, and a starting point for planning a load. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. 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. 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.
