About Toucan Recycling
Toucan Recycling runs in San Antonio, Texas, taking on demolition and salvage work for individual sellers and contractors. The site processes inbound scrap material from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for metal across the surrounding county. The directory entry omits a specific list of accepted materials for this yard, leaving the intake set unrecorded. On the contact front, a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, which together form the yard's published-facing schedule and channel mix as filed with the directory, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
