About Envrnmntl Rsrc Rcvry
Envrnmntl Rsrc Rcvry runs in San Jose, California, taking on scrap metal recycling work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. Inbound category data is not recorded for the yard in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. On the directory side, a phone line is on file. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
