About American Scrap Iron & Metals
Among the scrap metal recycling sites in Cayce, South Carolina is American Scrap Iron & Metals, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. On the operations side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, while a phone line and a website appear in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. 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.
