About Northern Metal Recycling
The scrap metal recycling site Northern Metal Recycling runs in Saint Paul, Minnesota, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. Looking at posted details, a phone line appears in the listing and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
