About Omnisource
Omnisource, a scrap metal recycling business in Salt Lick, Kentucky, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line is on file and the hours of operation aren't published in the directory. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
