About J-3 Metals Recycling Center
In Vidor, Texas, J-3 Metals Recycling Center is a scrap metal recycling business that takes inbound material from sellers and contractors. The site offers a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit in garages, sheds, or the back lots of small construction outfits. Inbound category data is not recorded for the business in the current directory listing, with the entry left open. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line and an email contact are on file 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. Larger inbound volumes benefit from a phone-ahead so the yard can plan gate space and any handling equipment needed at intake. The same call lets sellers confirm whether the site can accommodate the planned load on the planned day of the drive over.
