Editorial policy and content methodology
RecycleFind exists to help people make practical recycling decisions. We prioritize accurate facility data, clear preparation guidance, primary sources, and honest limitations over publishing content for search volume alone.
Who reviews the content
Editorial guidance is provided by David Micheals, Professional scrap-metal recycler with 30+ years of experience. Specialist legal, environmental, electrical, or safety questions are directed to qualified local authorities rather than presented as personal professional advice.
How information is created
- Guides and data reports are checked against government, industry, manufacturer, or program sources.
- Scrap-price tools disclose the date, assumptions, units, and limitations of their estimates.
- Directory records may come from public business information, facility submissions, owner updates, or editorial research.
- Automated or AI-assisted drafting may support organization and editing, but published claims require human review and source checking.
Freshness and verification
Pages display publication, modification, or directory-update dates when reliable values are available. Recycling prices, hours, accepted materials, and local rules can change without notice; readers should confirm time-sensitive details with the receiving facility or responsible authority.
Corrections and independence
Readers and businesses can report an error through the contact page. Material corrections are reviewed against the best available source and applied transparently. Advertising, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships do not permit a partner to purchase a favorable editorial conclusion.
