About Amd Recycling
Amd Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Salinas, California within Monterey County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. There is no accepted-materials list on file for this site in our directory at present, and the field remains open. The directory entry shows a phone line and an email contact are on file, and day-to-day hours are recorded. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. 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.
