About Cave Enterprises
Cave Enterprises sits in Farmington, New Mexico, with a focus on industrial steel and scrap work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Material handled at the site, per public records, includes aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list reflects the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with our directory, and gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Industrial sellers should phone the yard with material spec and approximate tonnage so the site can quote per-ton intake and confirm gate handling. Heavier loads often need scheduling around the yard's own equipment, which the call sorts in advance and pins down a working price for the inbound at the same time.
