About Columbia Metal Spinning
Among the industrial steel and scrap sites in Chicago, Illinois is Columbia Metal Spinning, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. On the published intake list, the business accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The directory entry reflects what the yard told us it routinely takes in, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for sorting a load and gauging whether a given pile is worth the drive. A phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
