About McMahon Recycling
Among the scrap metal recycling sites in Effingham, Illinois is McMahon Recycling, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the operation's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Per the directory, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
