Foothill Recycling
About Foothill Recycling
Foothill Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Grass Valley, California in Nevada 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. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On the contact front, a phone line is on file. Hours of operation aren't recorded, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. 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.
