About Metro Metals Recycling
Metro Metals Recycling handles demolition and salvage out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact appear 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. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
