About Suburban Scrap Metal Co
In North Chicago, Illinois, Suburban Scrap Metal Co is a scrap metal recycling business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and a website are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
