About General Metal Recycling Co
Scrap intake in Montebello, California runs through outfits like General Metal Recycling 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. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. Public-facing details show that a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and the hours of operation aren't published in the directory. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
