About Drive-In Recycling
Drive-In Recycling operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Lompoc, California in Santa Barbara County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. Looking at posted details, a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing and posted hours are available for visitors to check. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
