About Philly Scrap Metal
Philly Scrap Metal runs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, taking on scrap metal recycling 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. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. A phone line is on file, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over 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.
