About R & J Recycling
R & J Recycling is an auto salvage and parts site set up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in Milwaukee 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, a website, 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. 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.
