About Tilley's Salvage Yard
Tilley's Salvage Yard runs in Elkville, Illinois, taking on scrap metal recycling work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Practical details: posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line is on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
