About dave's recycling service
Working in Monrovia, Maryland, dave's recycling service is a demolition and salvage site listed in our directory. Listings like this help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than ringing around half a dozen places to find one that takes their volume. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the business's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
