About Tri State Metal Co
Scrap sellers in and around Chicago, Illinois can take material to Tri State Metal Co, a scrap metal recycling business within Cook County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. On the directory side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, 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. 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.
