About G & L Recycling
G & L Recycling runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Soledad, California within Monterey County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and an email contact are on file and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
