About Franklin Inc
Sellers in South El Monte, California can take scrap to Franklin Inc, a scrap metal recycling business within Los Angeles 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. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line appears in the listing and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. 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. 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.
