About John's Metals
John's Metals is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Palatka, Florida within Putnam County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. The directory entry shows a phone line appears in the listing, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
