About East Texas Recycling
East Texas Recycling runs a scrap metal recycling operation in Lufkin, Texas in Angelina County. The site takes in scrap material from local sellers and contractors, providing a paid outlet for metal that would otherwise end up in landfill or sit in a garage. The site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On the practical side, posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. 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.
