About City Recycling Center
Operating in San Bernardino, California, City Recycling Center works as a demolition and salvage business in San Bernardino County. The site processes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for material that would otherwise stay in garages or sheds. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. Per public records, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On larger loads, calling ahead with approximate tonnage and material spec lets the yard quote a working per-ton price and book gate timing. The site can plan inbound capacity, and the contractor walks in with a number rather than waiting at the scale on the day of the drop-off and the drive over.
