About Joseph Simon & Sons
Joseph Simon & Sons works in the scrap metal recycling space out of Tacoma, Washington. The site takes inbound material from local sellers and small contractors, and operates as a paid outlet for scrap metal across the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. Public-facing details show that a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
