About This Location
P & L Recycling LLC is a family-owned scrap metal recycling yard at 2261 Church St in Weldon, Iowa, that grew out of P & L Auto and Salvage started by Paul and Laura Palmer in the early 1990s and became a full recycling focus by 2003. It buys copper, aluminum, steel, vehicles and farm machinery, batteries, catalytic converters and computer e-scrap from the public, handling everything from a single pound of copper to a whole vehicle on inside scales and a 100-ton outside scale. Staff help customers unload and sort to maximize payment. This is a scrap buyer, not a household recycling drop-off.
