About Acme Refining

Acme Refining is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in South Bend, Indiana. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. Inbound category data is not recorded for the yard in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. On the operations side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, while a phone line is on file. 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. 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.
