About J & B Scrap Metals Inc
In Chicago, Illinois, J & B Scrap Metals Inc is a scrap metal recycling business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. The accepted-categories field on this listing is currently empty in our directory, with no inbound types specified. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line appears 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. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
