About J & L Recycling
J & L Recycling runs in Shepherd, Texas, taking on scrap metal recycling 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 site's posted intake list is currently empty in our directory entry, and no specific materials are filed. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line appears in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
