About Shire Environmental
Shire Environmental is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of North Franklin, Connecticut within Southeastern Connecticut County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. Per public records, day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
