About King Metals & Cores, Inc.
King Metals & Cores, Inc. is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Houston, Texas within Harris County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Inbound category data is not recorded for the yard in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. Per the directory, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
