We Buy Your Metal Scrap

We buy scrap metal from suppliers and businesses. As a direct export facility, we can pay top dollar for your metal. All types of ferrous metal are accepted, including steel and iron. This recycling center is conveniently located just off Highway 101 in Redwood City. We service the bay area, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Palo Alto, and Mountain View. You will like our convenient early morning hours, clean and safe yard, and fast-paced operations.    Our yard is fully paved and well-maintained. Regular spray cleaning (using reclaimed rainwater) keeps debris away from access roads, minimizing potential damage to vehicles.
