Sims Metal Management

About Sims Metal Management

Scrap activity in Chicago, Illinois includes Sims Metal Management, which handles scrap metal recycling for inbound sellers. The site takes material from walk-in sellers and contractors across the surrounding county, providing a paid intake channel for inbound scrap metal volume. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the team's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and a website are on file. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
