About Gauger's Salvage & Refuse
Gauger's Salvage & Refuse runs in Arena, Wisconsin, taking on demolition and salvage work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On larger loads, calling ahead with approximate tonnage and material spec lets the yard quote a working per-ton price and book gate timing. The site can plan inbound capacity, and the contractor walks in with a number rather than waiting at the scale on the day of the drop-off and the drive over.
