About Edco Waste & Recycling
Sellers in Lemon Grove, California can take scrap to Edco Waste & Recycling, a demolition and salvage business within San Diego 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. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
