About John Paule Metal Recycling
John Paule Metal Recycling operates as a scrap metal recycling site in East Saint Louis, Illinois in St. Clair County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. On the practical side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line is on file. 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
