About Top Dollar Scrap
Top Dollar Scrap runs in Centralia, Illinois, taking on scrap metal recycling work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. On a practical level, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
