About Avalos Metal
Avalos Metal is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Oak Lawn, Illinois. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. For practical details, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
