About Ideal Metal & Salvage Co
Sellers in Gardena, California can take scrap to Ideal Metal & Salvage Co, a demolition and salvage business in Los Angeles County. The site processes inbound material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound category data is not recorded for the business in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. Hours of operation aren't recorded. A phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. 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.
