About Tuxford Recycling
The scrap metal recycling business Tuxford Recycling works out of Los Angeles, California in Los Angeles County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. Posted material types include aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list reflects what the yard told the directory it accepts, which serves as a working baseline for what fits the standard inbound at the gate, and gives sellers something concrete to plan a load around at home. Day-to-day hours are recorded. A phone line appears in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. 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.
