About Tricounty Scrap Metal & Recycling
The scrap metal recycling site Tricounty Scrap Metal & Recycling runs in Middlesboro, 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. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. Public-facing details show that a phone line is on file, and hours of operation aren't recorded. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
