About Metal Recovery Systems

Metal Recovery Systems is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Princeton, New Jersey within Mercer County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line and a website are on file. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. 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.
