About Swaim Ornamental Iron Works
Scrap intake in Winston Salem, North Carolina runs through outfits like Swaim Ornamental Iron Works, which handles industrial steel and scrap work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. On the published intake list, the business accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The directory entry reflects what the yard told us it routinely takes in, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for sorting a load and gauging whether a given pile is worth the drive. Hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
