About L & S Metal Recycling
Scrap and salvage activity in Valparaiso, Indiana runs through a handful of intake points, and L & S Metal Recycling is one of them. The site works in the scrap metal recycling space and takes inbound material from local sellers, contractors, and people clearing out a property. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry. A phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. 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.
