About Southern Recycling
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in New Orleans, Louisiana is Southern Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The accepted-categories field on this listing is currently empty in our directory, with no inbound types specified. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line appears in the listing and posted hours are available for visitors to check. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
