About Blum Co
Blum Co is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Dubuque, Iowa in Dubuque 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 directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. Day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line is on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
