About Rocko's Metal Recycling
Working in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rocko's Metal Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site listed in our directory. Listings like this help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than ringing around half a dozen places to find one that takes their volume. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. Practical details: the hours of operation aren't published in the directory, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a 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.
