About The Public Restroom Company
The Public Restroom Company is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Reno, Nevada in Washoe 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. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line and a website appear 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. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
