About Tri-State Scrap Metal-Mountain Metals
Tri-State Scrap Metal-Mountain Metals works in the demolition and salvage space out of Asheville, North Carolina. The site takes inbound material from local sellers and small contractors, and operates as a paid outlet for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. Looking at posted details, a phone line is on file and day-to-day hours are recorded. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
