About Automotive Recycling Services
Automotive Recycling Services is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Schenectady, New York within Schenectady County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The team has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. The directory entry shows a phone line is on file, and hours of operation aren't recorded. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
