About A.C.T Recycling Center
A.C.T Recycling Center operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Alamogordo, New Mexico in Otero County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line and a website appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
