About Hudson River Recycling
Hudson River Recycling is a scrap metal recycling business that sets up shop in Albany, New York. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the yard's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and a website are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
