About Behr Iron and Metal
Behr Iron and Metal handles scrap metal recycling out of Riceville, Iowa, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. On the directory side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving 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.
