Arlington Heights runs on contractors. The commercial corridors along Rand Road and the office parks generate a steady flow of electrical scrap — panel upgrades, lighting retrofits, tenant build-outs — and every one of those jobs leaves copper behind. Remodelers pull brass fixtures and plumbing; the machine shops in the area’s industrial pockets run carbide like everyone else.
