About Detroit Iron & Metal Company
Detroit Iron & Metal Company is one of the scrap metal recycling sites listed in Detroit, Michigan. 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. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. On the operations side, day-to-day hours are recorded, while a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. 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.
