About California Metals Recycling Co. Inc.
California Metals Recycling Co. Inc. Is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Gardena, California in Los Angeles 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 operation has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. The directory entry shows a phone line appears in the listing, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
