Bates Recylcing
About Bates Recylcing
Operating in Fairmont, West Virginia, Bates Recylcing works as a scrap metal recycling business in Marion County. The site processes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for material that would otherwise stay in garages or sheds. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Per the directory, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. 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. 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.
