About Gallegos Recycling
Scrap intake in Espanola, New Mexico runs through outfits like Gallegos Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. On the directory side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
