About Blue Grass Recycling
Blue Grass Recycling runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Burlington, Kentucky in Boone County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. On the directory side, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, 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. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
