About Century Trading Co Inc
In Van Wert, Ohio, Century Trading Co Inc is an industrial steel and scrap business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Looking at posted details, a phone line appears in the listing and day-to-day hours are recorded. These come from the yard's own filing with the directory and represent the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit. 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.
