About Continental Steel Tank Co., Inc.
Sellers in Chicago, Illinois can take scrap to Continental Steel Tank Co., Inc., an industrial steel and scrap business within Cook County. The site processes inbound material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Sellers will find aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on the posted list of accepted categories. The yard self-reported these to the directory, which makes the list a working baseline for the standard intake mix on a given inbound day at the gate. The directory entry shows a phone line and an email contact are on file, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. 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. Contractors with structural steel or larger industrial loads should phone the yard to confirm intake conditions and per-ton scrap pricing. The same call sorts a delivery slot at the gate and any equipment the site needs to handle the inbound, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline rather than waiting at the scale on arrival.
