About Murky Waters Ent
Murky Waters Ent is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Barco, North Carolina. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the yard's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line is on file. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
