The Junk Trunk
About The Junk Trunk
The Junk Trunk, a demolition and salvage business in Denver, Colorado, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. Public-facing details show that a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing, and day-to-day hours are recorded. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
