About Cimco Recycling Sterling
Cimco Recycling Sterling, an auto salvage and parts business in Sterling, Illinois, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the operation's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file and day-to-day hours are recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Sellers hauling a junk vehicle should call ahead with year, make, and condition so the yard can quote a working price before any tow is booked. The same call confirms whether the site offers pickup or expects the vehicle delivered to the gate under its own power or behind a flatbed on the day of intake.
