About River City Steel and Recycling

San Antonio, Texas hosts River City Steel and Recycling, an industrial steel and scrap site that serves walk-in sellers and small contractors. Listings like this exist to help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than burning a Saturday calling around to find one. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. Practical details: posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a 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.
