Me Metals | Action Metal Recycling (aka Fass Metals) (510) 236-2488 | 385 Pittsburg Ave Richmond, CA 94801 (map) Mo-Fr 8-4 Sa 8-11 | Decent collection of sheet, tube, square, etc. But the pricing is quirky - they seem to charge whatever the guy running the scale feels like. | |||||

| M. Maselli & Sons, Inc. (707) 763-1562 Fax: (707) 763-6964 www.m-maselliandsons.com info@m-maselliandsons.com | 519 Lakeville Petaluma, CA 94952 (map) Mo-Fr 7:30-5, Sa 7:30-12 | Nearly 6 acres of scrap & hardware. Great place, well organized. Good source of hardware also. Open Saturdays until noon. Somewhat expensive for scrap, but perhaps worth it for the organization, help, cleanliness of the place. | ||||||

| Albany Steel 1-800-40-STEEL (510) 525-8778 Fax: (510) 525-8209 | 536 Cleveland Ave Albany, CA 94710-1007 (map) | Big steel yard. They sell new steel only - most if it's in 20' lengths, so bring a big truck or a saw. They charge $7.50 a cut if you need it. They have a small selection of welding supplies also. They seem somewhat gruff dealing with non-trade, non-pro; so know what you want before you go there. | ||||||
