About Oconee Metal Recovery
Oconee Metal Recovery sits in Covington, Georgia, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Inbound categories on file are copper. The directory shows what the yard reported as its standard intake mix — a working starting point for sellers when sorting a load before driving over, and a quick way to gauge whether a given pile is worth the trip. On the directory side, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
