About 3 Rivers Iron & Metal
Scrap sellers in and around Fairmont, West Virginia can take material to 3 Rivers Iron & Metal, a scrap metal recycling business in Marion County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The business has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. Public-facing details show that a phone line appears in the listing, and posted hours are available for visitors to check. 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.
