About Dri Metal Recycling
Dri Metal Recycling is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Silver City, New Mexico. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
