The Scrap Guy
About The Scrap Guy
Our directory lists The Scrap Guy as a scrap metal recycling business working out of Abbeville, Louisiana. Listings like this exist so sellers in the surrounding county can find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than guessing which yard will take what. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Practical details: day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, and a phone line is on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
