About The Federal Metal Company
Working out of Bedford, Ohio, The Federal Metal Company handles scrap metal recycling for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. The directory entry shows a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, 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. 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.
