About City Recycling Inc.
City Recycling Inc. Runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Detroit, Michigan in Wayne County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The yard has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. On the directory side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing. Day-to-day hours are recorded, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
