About Modesto Junk Co.
Scrap intake in Modesto, California runs through outfits like Modesto Junk Co., which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
