About Amado Recycling
Amado Recycling works in the scrap metal recycling space out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site takes inbound material from local sellers and small contractors, and operates as a paid outlet for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. Practical details: day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, and a phone line appears in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
