About Johnson Brothers Metal
Johnson Brothers Metal, a scrap metal recycling business in Berkeley, Illinois, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. The operation has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
