About United Compressed Steel Co
In Allentown, Pennsylvania, United Compressed Steel Co is a scrap metal recycling 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. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. The directory entry shows a phone line is on file, and the hours of operation aren't published 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. 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.
