About Longhorn Recycling
Longhorn Recycling is set up as a scrap metal recycling operation in San Antonio, Texas. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and contractors, and provides a paid intake channel for metal that would otherwise sit in a garage or shed. Posted material categories cover aluminum. The list is the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with the directory, which serves as a working baseline for what fits standard inbound flow at the gate on a typical inbound day. Per public records, posted hours are available for visitors to check and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a 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.
