About Plainfield Metals
The auto salvage and parts site Plainfield Metals runs in Plainfield, Wisconsin, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Per the directory, day-to-day hours are recorded 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
