About Ocean Star Metals
The scrap metal recycling site Ocean Star Metals runs in Garland, Texas, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. On the directory side, a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. Day-to-day hours are recorded, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
