DEF Recycling

About DEF Recycling

DEF Recycling is a scrap metal recycling site set up in Gainesville, Texas in Cooke County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. For practical details, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
