About Royal Recycling Center

Royal Recycling Center is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Modesto, California within Stanislaus County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit 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.
