About Compton Recycling
Scrap activity in Cincinnati, Ohio includes Compton Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling for inbound sellers. The site takes material from walk-in sellers and contractors across the surrounding county, providing a paid intake channel for inbound scrap metal volume. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the operations side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, while a phone line appears in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
