About Eastern Ky Recycling
The scrap metal recycling site Eastern Ky Recycling runs in Junction City, Kentucky, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the team's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Per public records, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
