Altitude Steel
About Altitude Steel
Altitude Steel is an industrial steel and scrap site set up in Denver, Colorado in Denver 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. Inventory the operation takes in includes aluminum, per the listing. These categories are the standard intake mix the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its public-facing entry, and serve as a working baseline for sellers planning a load. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
