About Ray's Resource Recovery & Transfer Station
The scrap metal recycling business Ray's Resource Recovery & Transfer Station works out of Clayton, Indiana in Hendricks County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the yard's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Looking at posted details, a phone line is on file and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. 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. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
