About A-1 Metals
A-1 Metals is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Rio Linda, California. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
