About Obar Scrap & Salvage
Obar Scrap & Salvage is a scrap metal recycling business that sets up shop in Tyler, Texas. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line appears in the listing and posted hours are available for visitors to check. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. 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.
