About Mosleys Auto Recycling
Scrap sellers in and around Cairo, Illinois can take material to Mosleys Auto Recycling, an auto salvage and parts business in Alexander County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. Hours of operation aren't recorded. A phone line appears 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.
