About Acme Iron & Metal Company
Acme Iron & Metal Company sits in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a focus on industrial steel and scrap work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Inbound categories on file are aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The directory shows what the yard reported as its standard intake mix — a working starting point for sellers when sorting a load before driving over, and a quick way to gauge whether a given pile is worth the trip. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry. A phone line and an email contact appear in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
