El Monte is a city located on Los Angeles County, in San Gabriel Valley, between the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers. It is the 64th largest city in the state, with a population of more than 100, 000 people. Some of the cities close to it are Pomona to the east, Los Angeles to the west, Pasadena and Glendale to the northwest, and Downey to the south.
The city has been long known as an agricultural city, but in recent years, as people continue to move into the city, construction for affordable housing has become a vital part of the city’s economy. It also has several international businesses located here as well as a recycling market development zone, which shows how important the scrap metal business is in the city.
If you want to sell scrap gold or even metal, there are plenty of scrap yards and cash for gold places you can take your materials. You’ll be able to make some good profit from them since scrap yards will offer good prices for all metals.
