About Caudill Portable Welding
Caudill Portable Welding is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in Albia, Iowa. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line is on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
