About A Surplus
A Surplus is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Glenolden, Pennsylvania within Delaware County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound category data is not recorded for the team in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. Per public records, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. 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. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
