About Metro Recycling, Inc.
Metro Recycling, Inc. is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Blue Island, Illinois in Cook 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. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. Day-to-day hours are recorded. A phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over 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.
