About RockTenn
Scrap sellers in and around Columbus, Ohio can take material to RockTenn, a scrap metal recycling business within Franklin County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Looking at posted details, a phone line appears in the listing and the hours of operation aren't published in the directory. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
