About American Trading Co

American Trading Co is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Cincinnati, Ohio in Hamilton County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing and the hours of operation aren't published in the directory. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound 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.
