About United Scrap Metal Inc
United Scrap Metal Inc sits in Cicero, Illinois, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. On the contact front, a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
