About P & T Metals
P & T Metals is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in South El Monte, California. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. This site works with aluminum and copper on its inbound side, per the directory. The categories shown are the yard's own self-reported take — a working baseline of what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical day, and a starting point for planning a load. Looking at posted details, a phone line and an email contact are on file and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. 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. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
