Alter Scrap Processing

About Alter Scrap Processing

Alter Scrap Processing is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Burlington, Iowa within Des Moines County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. The operation has no posted material-acceptance list in the directory at this time, and the intake field remains blank. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and a website are on file. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, 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.
