About RAO Manufacturing Company

Minneapolis, Minnesota hosts RAO Manufacturing Company, an industrial steel and scrap site that serves walk-in sellers and small contractors. Listings like this exist to help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than burning a Saturday calling around to find one. On the published intake list, the business accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The directory entry reflects what the yard told us it routinely takes in, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for sorting a load and gauging whether a given pile is worth the drive. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Contractors with structural steel or larger industrial loads should phone the yard to confirm intake conditions and per-ton scrap pricing. The same call sorts a delivery slot at the gate and any equipment the site needs to handle the inbound, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline rather than waiting at the scale on arrival.
