About Jim Williams & Sons Surplus
Jim Williams & Sons Surplus handles scrap metal recycling out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. Hours of operation aren't recorded, and a phone line is on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
