Earth Day Recycling Co
About Earth Day Recycling Co
Earth Day Recycling Co is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Per the directory, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
