About R J Recycling
R J Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Nitro, West Virginia in Kanawha County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the business's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the contact front, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. 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.
