About Clark Testing
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Buchanan, Michigan is Clark Testing, 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. On the inbound side, the listing shows aluminum and copper. Each category here is what the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its standard intake mix, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. Day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound 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.
