About Chicago Heights Processing
Chicago Heights Processing is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Chicago Heights, Illinois. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. Practical details: day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line is on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
