About Eastern Equipment & Supply

Eastern Equipment & Supply, an industrial steel and scrap business in Portales, New Mexico, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Sellers can bring in aluminum, brass, copper, and lead for processing at the site, per the categories the yard filed with our directory. The list runs the typical inbound mix and serves as a working baseline when planning a load, though the printed categories are inevitably less granular than day-to-day reality. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. 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. 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.
