About A-1 Machine
A-1 Machine runs an industrial steel and scrap operation in Farmington, New Mexico in San Juan County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. Inventory the operation takes in includes aluminum, brass, copper, and lead, per the listing. These categories are the standard intake mix the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its public-facing entry, and serve as a working baseline for sellers planning a load. For practical details, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear 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. 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.
