About Santa Barbara Iron & Metal Recyclers
Scrap sellers in and around Santa Barbara, California can take material to Santa Barbara Iron & Metal Recyclers, a scrap metal recycling business in Santa Barbara County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. Practical details: posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
