East Coast Auto Recycling
About East Coast Auto Recycling
Operating in Plainsboro, New Jersey, East Coast Auto Recycling works as a scrap metal recycling business in Middlesex County. The site processes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for material that would otherwise stay in garages or sheds. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. 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. 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.
