About Booe Machinery & Salvage
Booe Machinery & Salvage is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Holdrege, Nebraska in Phelps County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a 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.
