1 American Waste
About 1 American Waste
Working out of Pine Island, New York, 1 American Waste handles demolition and salvage for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory. A phone line appears in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
