About MCR Recycling
MCR Recycling is a scrap and salvage business that sets up shop in Orem, Utah. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. Per the directory, the yard lists aluminum, brass, copper, and lead as accepted intake. These categories were filed by the yard itself and represent the standard inbound mix at the gate on a typical day, which sellers can use as a baseline when sorting a load at home. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers 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.
