About A & J Recycling
A & J Recycling is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Cowpens, South Carolina. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line is on file and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
