Young Iron & Metal
About Young Iron & Metal
Young Iron & Metal runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Abbeville, Louisiana. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Per public records, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them 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.
