About Acme Iron and Metal
Acme Iron and Metal provides scrap metal recycling services in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The business takes inbound material from walk-in sellers, small contractors, and salvage haulers across the surrounding county, and operates as a paid outlet for inbound scrap metal volume. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. On the operations side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, while a phone line appears 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. 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.
