About Macon Recycling & Salvage
Inbound scrap in Lafayette, Tennessee goes through sites like Macon Recycling & Salvage, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal volume across the surrounding county. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. The directory entry shows a phone line is on file, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. 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. 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.
