Schnitzer Steel

About Schnitzer Steel

Schnitzer Steel is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Oakland, California in Alameda County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On the contact front, a phone line and a website are on file. Hours of operation aren't recorded, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. 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.
