About Central Metal Inc
Central Metal Inc provides scrap metal recycling services in Los Angeles, California. The business takes inbound material from walk-in sellers, small contractors, and salvage haulers across the surrounding county, and operates as a paid outlet for inbound scrap metal volume. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. Per the directory, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line and a website are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
