About Northern Steel Recovery
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Central Square, New York is Northern Steel Recovery, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. Per public records, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line is on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
