About Bucek Pipe & Steel
Bucek Pipe & Steel is a scrap metal recycling site working out of Wharton, Texas within Wharton County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Which materials this yard takes on a given day is not published in our directory under the current entry. Public-facing details show that a phone line is on file, and the hours of operation aren't published 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. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
