About Charles Scrap Metal
Charles Scrap Metal handles scrap metal recycling out of Cranston, Rhode Island, 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. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the practical side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line is on file. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound 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.
