About Abco Metals Co
Abco Metals Co is one of the industrial steel and scrap sites listed in Chicago, 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. Material handled at the site, per public records, includes aluminum and copper. The list reflects the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with our directory, and gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. The directory entry shows a phone line and an email contact are on file, and day-to-day hours are recorded. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. 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.
