About Craig Steel
The industrial steel and scrap business Craig Steel works out of Craig, Colorado within Moffat County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. Posted intake categories include aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list is what the yard filed with the directory as its standard inbound mix, which sellers can plan a load around when sorting at home before any drive over to the gate. Practical details: hours of operation aren't recorded, and a phone line and a website 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. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
