About Air-Con Mechanical Corp
Working out of Des Moines, Iowa, Air-Con Mechanical Corp handles industrial steel and scrap for sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need a paid outlet for metal. Per the directory, the yard lists aluminum, brass, copper, and lead as accepted intake. These categories were filed by the yard itself and represent the standard inbound mix at the gate on a typical day, which sellers can use as a baseline when sorting a load at home. Posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. 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. Industrial sellers should phone the yard with material spec and approximate tonnage so the site can quote per-ton intake and confirm gate handling. Heavier loads often need scheduling around the yard's own equipment, which the call sorts in advance and pins down a working price for the inbound at the same time.
