Duco

About Duco

Scrap sellers in and around Escondido, California can take material to Duco, an industrial steel and scrap business within San Diego County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. Per the directory, the yard lists aluminum as accepted intake. These categories were filed by the yard itself and represent the standard inbound mix at the gate on a typical day, which sellers can use as a baseline when sorting a load at home. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, and a phone line is on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
