About Upstate Recycling & Containers
Upstate Recycling & Containers, a demolition and salvage business in Fort Wayne, Indiana, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options 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, a website, and an email contact are on file and posted hours are available for visitors to check. 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. 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.
