About Alter Metal Recycling
Alter Metal Recycling operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Peoria, Illinois within Peoria 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. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. On the practical side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
