About Vangundy's-Western Metals
Vangundy's-Western Metals works in the scrap metal recycling space out of Grand Junction, Colorado. The site takes inbound material from local sellers and small contractors, and operates as a paid outlet for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for this site's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Per the directory, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
