About Kuraray America Inc
Kuraray America Inc is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Irvine, California within Orange County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the contact front, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, 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. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
