About American Iron & Metal
American Iron & Metal runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Caribou, Maine within Aroostook County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line and a website are 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. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
