About Pure Metal Recycling
Pure Metal Recycling is one of the scrap metal recycling 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. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the business's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line appears in the listing. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
