About Del's Metal Co
Del's Metal Co is a scrap metal recycling business that sets up shop in Rock Island, Illinois. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. Public-facing details show that a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
