About Wildhorse Trading
Wildhorse Trading operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Kensett, Iowa in Worth County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. The directory entry shows a phone line and an email contact are on file, and day-to-day hours are recorded. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
