About Chicago Industrial Catalytic Ltd
Working out of Chicago, Illinois, Chicago Industrial Catalytic Ltd handles scrap metal recycling for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On the operations side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, while a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
