About McSweeney Steel Company
McSweeney Steel Company is one of the industrial steel and scrap sites listed in Tacoma, Washington. The business takes inbound scrap material from individual sellers and contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise sit unused or be sent to landfill. Posted intake categories include aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list is what the yard filed with the directory as its standard inbound mix, which sellers can plan a load around when sorting at home before any drive over to the gate. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
