About Mississippi River Recycling
The scrap metal recycling site Mississippi River Recycling runs in La Place, Louisiana, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. Looking at posted details, a phone line and a website are on file and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
