About C & B Recycling
In Carlsbad, New Mexico, C & B Recycling is a scrap metal recycling business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
