About Fort Iron & Metals

Operating in Detroit, Michigan, Fort Iron & Metals works as a scrap metal recycling business within Wayne County. The site processes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for material that would otherwise stay in garages or sheds. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and a website are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
