About Alex's Scrap Metal
Alex's Scrap Metal is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Porter, Texas in Montgomery County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the operations side, hours of operation aren't recorded, while a phone line appears in the listing. These details come straight from what the yard filed with the directory and reflect the channels open to inbound sellers, which gives a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
