About Wilkes Steel Inc
Wilkes Steel Inc is an industrial steel and scrap operator working out of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina within Wilkes County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and an email contact are on file and posted hours are available for visitors to check. 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. 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.
