About Lee's Iron & Metal
Lee's Iron & Metal is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Vista, California within San Diego County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the practical side, day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
