About Watertown Iron & Metal Co
Scrap sellers in and around Watertown, South Dakota can take material to Watertown Iron & Metal Co, an industrial steel and scrap business within Codington County. The site works with walk-in sellers and small contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal across the surrounding county. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Practical details: day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line appears in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Contractors with structural steel or larger industrial loads should phone the yard to confirm intake conditions and per-ton scrap pricing. The same call sorts a delivery slot at the gate and any equipment the site needs to handle the inbound, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline rather than waiting at the scale on arrival.
