About Pickett Salvage
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Paton, Iowa is Pickett Salvage, which handles auto salvage and parts work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the practical side, day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
