Prime Metals & Alloys

About Prime Metals & Alloys

The scrap metal recycling site Prime Metals & Alloys runs in San Jose, 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. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Looking at posted details, a phone line is on file and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
