Frequently Asked Questions

Does American Scrap Metal Services accept televisions or computer monitors?

No. The yard is metals only and explicitly does not accept electronics — including TVs, monitors, or any item with radioactive components. For e-waste in the Alsip area, check Cook County's household electronics recycling programs.

How does the drop-off and payment process work?

Pull through the drive-thru drop-off for non-ferrous metals, have your load weighed on the on-site truck scale, and receive immediate payment. No appointment is needed and the service is open to walk-in customers Monday–Saturday.

Do I need to be a contractor to use American Scrap Metal Services?

No. The facility is open to residential homeowners as well as commercial clients. Whether you have a car trunk full of aluminum cans or a construction-site load of copper wire, you can drop off during business hours.
