About Tube City Ims
Scrap intake in Saint Paul, Minnesota runs through outfits like Tube City Ims, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing and day-to-day hours are recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound 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.
