About Junk Butler
Junk Butler operates as a demolition and salvage site in Elgin, Illinois in Kane 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. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On the practical side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear 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. Industrial sellers should phone the yard with material spec and approximate tonnage so the site can quote per-ton intake and confirm gate handling. Heavier loads often need scheduling around the yard's own equipment, which the call sorts in advance and pins down a working price for the inbound at the same time.
