Rick's Metal Recycling
About Rick's Metal Recycling
Rick's Metal Recycling operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Abbeville, Louisiana. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the contact front, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Day-to-day hours are recorded, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. 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.
