About McDermott Jas R
McDermott Jas R is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Mount Vernon, Illinois within Jefferson County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. The directory entry shows a phone line appears in the listing, and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. 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. 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.
