About Red's Ferrous Metal, Inc.
Working in El Cajon, California, Red's Ferrous Metal, Inc. is a scrap metal recycling site listed in our directory. Listings like this help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than ringing around half a dozen places to find one that takes their volume. Inbound category data is not recorded for this site in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, and a phone line and a website 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. 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.
