About Wexler & Sons, Inc.
Wexler & Sons, Inc. is an industrial steel and scrap site set up in Chicago, Illinois in Cook County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The business accepts aluminum on the inbound side, per directory records. The categories listed run the standard intake mix the yard reported as part of its public-facing snapshot, which gives a working sense of how a load might fit before any drive over. On the directory side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. 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. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
