About Garden City Iron & Metal
Garden City Iron & Metal sits in Columbus, Indiana, with a focus on auto salvage and parts work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Accepted-material categories are not on file in our directory for this yard, and the listing field remains open at present. On the contact front, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Day-to-day hours are recorded, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
