About American Steel Processing
Scrap sellers in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania can take material to American Steel Processing, an auto salvage and parts business within Allegheny County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Per the directory, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Auto sellers should expect the site to ask about drained fluids before intake — oil, coolant, fuel — and about whether batteries and catalytic converters need to come out separately. A phone call to the yard confirms what prep is needed and whether the operator handles that work in-house or expects the seller to arrive with the vehicle prepped.
