About Top Metal Buyers Inc
Top Metal Buyers Inc is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Saint Elmo, Illinois in Fayette County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. On the practical side, day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, and a phone line appears in the listing. 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. 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.
