About Corell Recycling
Corell Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in West Des Moines, Iowa in Polk County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. Operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line and a website are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
