About Horton Iron & Metal Co
Sellers in Wilmington, North Carolina can take scrap to Horton Iron & Metal Co, a scrap metal recycling business in Brunswick County. The site processes inbound material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound categories on file are aluminum, copper, and steel. The directory shows what the yard reported as its standard intake mix — a working starting point for sellers when sorting a load before driving over, and a quick way to gauge whether a given pile is worth the trip. For practical details, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
