About Gardner Iron & Metal

Gardner Iron & Metal runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Austin, Texas within Travis County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The business works with aluminum on its inbound side, per the directory. The categories shown are the yard's own self-reported take — a working baseline of what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical day, and a starting point for planning a load. Public-facing details show that a phone line and an email contact are on file, and operating hours are posted in the directory entry. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
