About Big-O`S Recycling
Inbound scrap in Van Nuys, California goes through sites like Big-O`S Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal volume across the surrounding county. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. On the contact front, a phone line appears in the listing. Hours of operation aren't recorded, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
