About Five Star Metal Recycling
Five Star Metal Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Center, Colorado within Saguache County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. On the inbound side, the listing shows aluminum. Each category here is what the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its standard intake mix, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. Day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line is on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
