About Old Foundry Recycling
Scrap sellers in and around Exeter, California can take material to Old Foundry Recycling, a scrap metal recycling business in Tulare 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 site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Public-facing details show that a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
