About Lucky Iron
Lucky Iron is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Plainville, Kansas. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the yard's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the practical side, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory, and a phone line is on file. 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
