About Philadelphia Scrap Metal & Recycling

Sellers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania can take scrap to Philadelphia Scrap Metal & Recycling, a scrap metal recycling business within Philadelphia County. The site processes inbound material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Posted material types include aluminum, brass, copper, lead, and precious metals. The list reflects what the yard told the directory it accepts, which serves as a working baseline for what fits the standard inbound at the gate, and gives sellers something concrete to plan a load around at home. The directory entry shows a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. 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.
