About Airline Salvage Inc
Inbound scrap in Metairie, Louisiana goes through sites like Airline Salvage Inc, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal volume across the surrounding county. Sellers will find aluminum, brass, and copper on the posted list of accepted categories. The yard self-reported these to the directory, which makes the list a working baseline for the standard intake mix on a given inbound day at the gate. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. 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.
