RECYCLING OVERVIEW

Today more than ever people understand the need to intelligently manage waste. For a growing percentage of the population, this means looking for ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Individuals in the communities that Dittmer Recycling serves can recycle in a number of ways, including home curbside collection and convenient Drop-Off locations. Businesses can benefit from our commercial recycling capabilities whether they have one location or several.

SCRAP METAL

Ferrous metals:

These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to give the required properties.

Non–ferrous metals:

These are metals which do not contain any iron. They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals. Examples are aluminum, copper lead, zine and tin.Material taken by appointment only at scrap yard location: 19419 Rosespur Lane, Dubuque, IA (Behind John Deere).
