About Counts Recycling

Among the scrap metal recycling sites in Potosi, Missouri is Counts Recycling, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
