About State Metal Industries
Scrap intake in Camden, New Jersey runs through outfits like State Metal Industries, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. Material handled at the site, per public records, includes aluminum. The list reflects the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with our directory, and gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. 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. 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.
