About Mervis Recycling
Scrap activity in Decatur, Illinois includes Mervis Recycling, 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. Inbound category data is not recorded for the team in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. On the practical side, day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
