About Padnos
Padnos is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Traverse City, Michigan in Grand Traverse County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. On a practical level, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line appears 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. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
