About NIKO Contracting
The industrial steel and scrap site NIKO Contracting runs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. This site buys aluminum, brass, copper, and lead, per the categories filed in the directory. The list runs the standard intake mix the yard reported as part of its public-facing entry, and gives sellers a working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory. A phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
