About General Supply and Metals
General Supply and Metals handles industrial steel and scrap out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. Inventory the operation takes in includes aluminum, brass, copper, and lead, per the listing. These categories are the standard intake mix the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its public-facing entry, and serve as a working baseline for sellers planning a load. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
