About Materials Recovery Co
Materials Recovery Co is a scrap metal recycling business that sets up shop in Troy, New York. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. Public records do not list which material types the team accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. Per the directory, day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory and a phone line and a website are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
