About Christensen Metal Yard
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Tyler, Minnesota is Christensen Metal Yard, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the operations side, hours of operation aren't recorded, while a phone line appears in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
