About Capital City Recovery & Recycling
The scrap metal recycling site Capital City Recovery & Recycling runs in Sacramento, California, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Public records do not list which material types this site accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
