About Surplus Buyers

Surplus Buyers is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Houston, Texas in 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. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. The directory entry shows a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and hours of operation aren't recorded. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive 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.
