About Michael's Electric Inc
Scrap activity in Crystal Lake, Illinois includes Michael's Electric Inc, which handles industrial steel and scrap 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. Inbound categories on file are aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The directory shows what the yard reported as its standard intake mix — a working starting point for sellers when sorting a load before driving over, and a quick way to gauge whether a given pile is worth the trip. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
