About Lee Iron & Metal Co., Inc.
Scrap sellers in and around Raleigh, North Carolina can take material to Lee Iron & Metal Co., Inc., a scrap metal recycling business within Wake County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. The directory entry shows a phone line is on file, and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
