About D C Metals & Recycling
D C Metals & Recycling sits in North Highlands, California, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Posted material categories cover aluminum and brass. The list is the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with the directory, which serves as a working baseline for what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical inbound day. Posted hours are available for visitors to check. A phone line and a website appear 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. 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.
