About Kelley 7 Recycling
Kelley 7 Recycling runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Newport, North Carolina within Carteret County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. Per the directory, the yard lists aluminum, brass, and copper as accepted intake. These categories were filed by the yard itself and represent the standard inbound mix at the gate on a typical day, which sellers can use as a baseline when sorting a load at home. Posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
