About Bob's Recycling
Bob's Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Detroit, Michigan in Wayne County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On the practical side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line appears 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
