About Tube City Ims
Tube City Ims is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Middletown, Ohio within Butler 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 site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. On the practical side, day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
