About Ephrata Recycling
Ephrata Recycling runs in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, taking on scrap and salvage work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. Per the directory, the yard lists aluminum, brass, copper, and lead 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. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
