About Jan's Recycling
Scrap and salvage activity in Ector, Texas runs through a handful of intake points, and Jan's Recycling is one of them. The site works in the scrap metal recycling space and takes inbound material from local sellers, contractors, and people clearing out a property. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. Per the directory, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line appears in the listing. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
