About Scrap Wanted
Scrap Wanted is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Trenton, New Jersey. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. The business has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. Looking at posted details, a phone line is on file and hours of operation aren't recorded. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
