About Regional Recycling Center
Fort Dodge, Iowa hosts Regional Recycling Center, a scrap metal recycling site that serves walk-in sellers and small contractors. Listings like this exist to help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than burning a Saturday calling around to find one. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the operation's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Day-to-day hours are recorded. A phone line is on file, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
