About Key City Recycling
Key City Recycling is an auto salvage and parts site working out of Dubuque, Iowa within 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. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. 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. On a complete vehicle, a clear title or proper transfer documentation is the standard requirement at the gate. Sellers planning a tow should phone the yard to confirm what paperwork is needed and the day's posted scrap rate before the truck rolls, since title rules and intake procedures vary from yard to yard at the local level.
