About Erwin Iron & Metal
Erwin Iron & Metal operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Erwin, Tennessee within Unicoi County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line is on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
