About Tucson Iron & Metal
Tucson Iron & Metal is an industrial steel and scrap site working out of Tucson, Arizona in Pima County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, 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.
