About this center

A five-generation family has run J. Solotken & Company in Indianapolis since 1914. The 140,000-square-foot yard buys copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, insulated wire, zinc, lead, carbide, tool steel, and high-temperature nickel and cobalt alloys from manufacturers, contractors, retail sellers, dealers, and brokers. Lead purchases exclude batteries. Furnace-ready scrap is sold to mills, foundries, smelters, and ingot makers. Deliveries are accepted Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at several receiving docks, with indoor unloading in bad weather. Shipping runs 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Drivers check in at the warehouse receiving office and need identification plus safety apparel and footwear. The company supplies roll-off containers, picks up scrap, grades high-temperature alloys, and mutilates end-of-life items so they are no longer usable.
