About Behr Iron & Metal
Behr Iron & Metal runs in Freeport, 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. On the operations side, hours of operation aren't recorded, while a phone line and a website appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
