About R & D Metal Recycling
R & D Metal Recycling runs in Thomasville, Georgia, taking on scrap metal recycling work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. On the published intake list, the operation accepts aluminum and copper. The directory entry reflects what the yard told us it routinely takes in, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for sorting a load and gauging whether a given pile is worth the drive. A phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers 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.
