About Behr Iron & Metal
Behr Iron & Metal operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Machesney Park, Illinois within Winnebago 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. This site has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. On the operations side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, while a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. 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. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
