About J L Whitlow
Working out of Roanoke, Virginia, J L Whitlow handles scrap metal recycling for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. The directory entry shows a phone line is on file, and the hours of operation aren't published in the directory. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. 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.
