Statesville – Monroe Street Yard
In January 2013, L. Gordon Iron & Metal opened an additional location within a mile of its existing Salisbury Rd. location, in order to more efficiently handle smaller amounts of non-ferrous materials (copper, aluminum, stainless, etc.) and aluminum beverage cans. The opening of this new satellite location has significantly reduced customer wait times prior to being unloaded.
