About Rockdale Iron & Metal
Rockdale Iron & Metal operates as a scrap metal recycling site in Rockdale, Texas in Milam County. It is one of the local intake points for individual sellers, contractors, and small haulers who need to move scrap material rather than send it to a landfill. Specific accepted-material categories are not posted in the directory for this site, leaving the inbound list open in the entry. On the practical side, operating hours are posted in the directory entry, and a phone line is on file. 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. 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.
