About Cozzi Recycling - Public Metal Recycling Center
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Melrose Park, Illinois is Cozzi Recycling - Public Metal Recycling Center, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. The directory entry shows a phone line appears in the listing, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
