About Seidenfeld Metal
Seidenfeld Metal sits in Des Moines, Iowa, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line is on file and hours of operation aren't recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
