About Fred's Scrap Metal
Fred's Scrap Metal is set up as an auto salvage and parts operation in Houston, Texas. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. 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.
