About Universal Services

Sellers in Santa Clara, California can take scrap to Universal Services, a scrap metal recycling business in Santa Clara County. The site processes inbound material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. Per public records, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. 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. 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.
