Dykes Towing
About Dykes Towing
Dykes Towing sits in Smiths Station, Alabama, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On a practical level, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line is on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
