About Bates Recycling
Among the scrap metal recycling sites in Cygnet, Ohio is Bates Recycling, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
