About Oil City Assets
Oil City Assets is a scrap metal recycling site set up in South Houston, Texas within Harris County. The business takes inbound scrap material from local sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. Public-facing details show that a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file, and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. These two data points are what the yard has published through the directory about its day-to-day inbound flow, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before any drive over. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
