About SVSWA- Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility
SVSWA- Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Salinas, California in 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. Inbound category data is not recorded for the operation in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. Public-facing details show that a phone line and an email contact are on file, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive 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.
