About S & J Scrap Co Inc
S & J Scrap Co Inc provides scrap metal recycling services in Highland Park, Illinois. The business takes inbound material from walk-in sellers, small contractors, and salvage haulers across the surrounding county, and operates as a paid outlet for inbound scrap metal volume. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. Per the directory, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line is 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.
