The Scrap Man
About The Scrap Man
The Scrap Man 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. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory. A phone line appears in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
