About MIdwest Fiber
MIdwest Fiber is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Decatur, Illinois within Macon County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
