FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Service-area questions, answered.
Which areas does Ironcrest serve for carbide?
Ironcrest buys carbide scrap from shops and individuals across Illinois, Northwest Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, with local pickup for qualifying lots, recurring route collection for steady generators, and a nationwide mail-in option for smaller lots.
I am outside these cities. Can I still sell carbide?
Yes. If you are elsewhere in the region, send photos, an estimated weight and your location — we review lots beyond the listed cities case by case. Smaller lots anywhere can use our mail-in carbide option.
How do I start?
Send photos of the material, an estimated weight and your city through the quote form, by email or by phone. We review what you have and discuss whether local pickup, recurring collection or mail-in makes sense.
Send photos, estimated weight and your city for today’s price. Email sjohns@ironcrestindustrialsurplus.com or call 312-880-8174.
WHY SEND PHOTOS FIRST
Identification protects value.
Industrial equipment can be worth more intact than as scrap. Clear photos and nameplates help determine whether resale, component recovery or commodity recovery is the best path.
