About W B Scrap Metal
W B Scrap Metal is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Chalmette, Louisiana. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line appears in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
