About Temple Iron & Metal Co
The industrial steel and scrap business Temple Iron & Metal Co works out of Temple, Texas within Bell County. The site takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options for salvage volume in the surrounding county. Public records do not list which material types this site accepts on the inbound side as of the current directory snapshot. For practical details, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and a website appear in the listing. The directory entry is the yard's own self-reported snapshot of how it handles inbound contact and posted schedule, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Clean material posts faster and prices better — copper free of insulation, aluminum without steel attached, iron sorted from cast. Sellers spending a few minutes on prep at home tend to land a working price quote at the gate without much back-and-forth at intake on the day.
