About Nor Cal Recycling
Nor Cal Recycling runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Fremont, California in Alameda County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the team's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. For practical details, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line and a website are on file. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
