About King Metals
The scrap metal recycling business King Metals works out of Houston, Texas in Harris County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. Inbound category data is not recorded for this site in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. Per public records, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line is on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them 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.
