Longview Scrap & Metal Co

Longview Scrap & Metal Co. turns other people's leftovers back into raw material. The yard on West Loop 281 South buys scrap metal from just about anyone — a walk-in peddler load in the back of a pickup all the way up to industrial site scrap and whole vehicles. The company keeps published lists of items it takes and items it does not accept, which saves a wasted trip across town, and it quotes prices by phone since metal markets move daily. On its site it says each piece of its processing equipment "is designed and chosen to provide the highest quality processing performance to ensure maximum benefit from the scrap metals being recycled." Yard hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. If you are cleaning out a shop, tearing off an old metal roof, or finally hauling away the appliances behind the barn, it is worth a call before you load up.
