About Shearsteel
Shearsteel, a scrap metal recycling business in Chocowinity, North Carolina, takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors. The site provides a paid intake point for metal that would otherwise sit unused, and is one of the salvage options in the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On the operations side, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory, while a phone line is 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
