About Lonnie's Recycling Inc
Lonnie's Recycling Inc is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Lawrence, Kansas in Douglas County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the directory side, a phone line is on file. Day-to-day hours are recorded, 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. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
