About South Florida Recycling
Scrap intake in Fort Lauderdale, Florida runs through outfits like South Florida Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. The yard has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line appears in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
