About Joseph Behr & Sons Inc
The scrap metal recycling site Joseph Behr & Sons Inc runs in Rockford, Illinois, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line and a website appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
