About The Trident Co
Scrap intake in Houston, Texas runs through outfits like The Trident Co, which handles industrial steel and scrap 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. On the inbound side, the listing shows aluminum. Each category here is what the yard self-reported to the directory as part of its standard intake mix, which gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. On the directory side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. 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.
