About Fry's Metal
Fry's Metal, a scrap metal recycling business in Hayward, California, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. The directory entry shows a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, and day-to-day hours are recorded. 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. 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.
