About Ricksant
The scrap metal recycling business Ricksant works out of Plainfield, New Jersey in Union County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On a practical level, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory and a phone line is on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
