Who buys scrap metal Chicago?

Ironcrest Industrial Surplus buys scrap metal in Chicago — copper wire and cable, bare copper, brass and bronze, carbide tooling, panels, breakers, transformers, and motors. We’re a buyer, not a yard: instead of you hauling to us, we come to your job site, shop, or garage the same day, weigh the material in front of you, and pay within 24–48 hours.

Based in Rolling Meadows, serving all of Chicago — city and suburbs. For the right load, we travel anywhere. Start with photos: text them to 312-880-8174 for today’s price.

Every serious buyer asks the same four things — have them ready and you get a faster, stronger offer:

• Photos — clear shots of the material, the quantity, and any nameplates.
• Material type — copper wire, brass fittings, carbide inserts — your best description.
• Estimated weight — a guess is fine; we weigh it in front of you at pickup.
• Location — address or neighborhood, so we can schedule same-day pickup.

Not sure what you have? The metal ID wizard identifies it in plain language, and the pile estimator sizes up the whole load.

Ironcrest Industrial Surplus is a Chicago-area buyer of industrial scrap and surplus — copper wire is our number one focus, carbide tooling our number two. We answer our own phone at 312-880-8174, quote against today’s markets (never stale published prices), and clear piles the same day across Chicago. See who we buy from — electricians, demolition crews, machine shops, manufacturers, and plant closings.

Do scrap buyers pick up, or do I have to deliver?

We pick up. That’s the whole model — you send photos, we come to your job site or shop the same day, weigh it in front of you, and pay cash.

How do I get the best price for my scrap?

Send clear photos, describe the material honestly, estimate the weight, and sort the obvious grades apart. Then get today’s price — markets move daily, so yesterday’s number is already stale.
