About Custom Rides
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Hastings, Nebraska is Custom Rides, which handles industrial steel and scrap work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. This site works with aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on its inbound side, per the directory. The categories shown are the yard's own self-reported take — a working baseline of what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical day, and a starting point for planning a load. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and an email contact are on file and day-to-day hours are recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
