About Southwest Scrap & Salvage
Operating in Venus, Texas, Southwest Scrap & Salvage works as a scrap metal recycling business within Johnson County. The site processes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, providing a paid intake channel for material that would otherwise stay in garages or sheds. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and a website appear in the listing and hours of operation aren't recorded. 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.
