About Mid-Carolina Steel
Columbia, South Carolina hosts Mid-Carolina Steel, an industrial steel and scrap site that serves walk-in sellers and small contractors. Listings like this exist to help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than burning a Saturday calling around to find one. Posted intake categories are currently blank on this listing in our directory, with no specific materials recorded. On the directory side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
