About A-1 Machine Inc.
A-1 Machine Inc. Is an industrial steel and scrap site working out of Farmington, New Mexico in San Juan County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The team works with aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on its inbound side, per the directory. The categories shown are the yard's own self-reported take — a working baseline of what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical day, and a starting point for planning a load. Looking at posted details, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. 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.
