Metals Express
About Metals Express
The scrap metal recycling business Metals Express works out of Renton, Washington within King County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the team's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the operations side, hours of operation aren't recorded, while a phone line is on file. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
