About Hayes Iron & Metals
Inbound scrap in Providence, North Carolina goes through sites like Hayes Iron & Metals, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal volume across the surrounding county. Public records do not list which material types the business accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. Looking at posted details, a phone line appears in the listing 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. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
