About Scrapper Smith
Albany, New York hosts Scrapper Smith, a demolition and salvage site that serves walk-in sellers and small contractors. Listings like this exist to help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than burning a Saturday calling around to find one. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the practical side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. 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.
