Scrap intake in Cairo, Illinois runs through two listed yards, each acting as a paid outlet for sellers turning copper, aluminum, steel, and other recoverables into cash. Intake categories per yard aren't broadly published in the Cairo listings, which means a quick call to each yard is the working path to confirm a load fits before driving over. Cairo's scrap market is mixed across general-scrap, auto-salvage, and industrial-steel intake, giving sellers a working set of options for whatever load they're moving.
