About Frank's Cleanup Service
Frank's Cleanup Service sits in Valparaiso, Indiana, with a focus on industrial steel and scrap 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. The business accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on the inbound side, per directory records. The categories listed run the standard intake mix the yard reported as part of its public-facing snapshot, which gives a working sense of how a load might fit before any drive over. Practical details: operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
