About Lopez Houston Metals
Scrap intake in Houston, Texas runs through outfits like Lopez Houston Metals, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. On the contact front, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The hours of operation aren't published in the directory, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
