About A & B Scrap Metal
A & B Scrap Metal, a scrap metal recycling business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Practical details: hours of operation aren't recorded, and a phone line appears in the listing. 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
