About Tms International
Knoxville, Tennessee hosts Tms International, a scrap metal recycling 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. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. Per the directory, the hours of operation aren't published in the directory and a phone line appears in the listing. 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. 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.
