About Community Metals Recycling
Among the scrap and recycling outfits in Lubbock, Texas is Community Metals Recycling, which handles scrap metal recycling work. The site processes inbound material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. No accepted-materials list appears under this yard's directory entry at present, and no inbound categories are recorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and a website are on file and day-to-day hours are recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
