About State Steel Co
State Steel Co runs an industrial steel and scrap operation in Royal Oaks, California within Santa Cruz County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and a website are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
