About Electro-Plating Specialties Inc.
Sellers in Hayward, California can take scrap to Electro-Plating Specialties Inc., an industrial steel and scrap business within Alameda 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. Sellers can bring in aluminum, brass, copper, and lead for processing at the site, per the categories the yard filed with our directory. The list runs the typical inbound mix and serves as a working baseline when planning a load, though the printed categories are inevitably less granular than day-to-day reality. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry. A phone line and a website 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. Industrial sellers should phone the yard with material spec and approximate tonnage so the site can quote per-ton intake and confirm gate handling. Heavier loads often need scheduling around the yard's own equipment, which the call sorts in advance and pins down a working price for the inbound at the same time.
