About Carrier Salvage & Recycling
Carrier Salvage & Recycling operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Sterling, New York in Cayuga County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. The directory entry shows a phone line appears in the listing, 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. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
