Our Services
Port Arthur Recycling offers full-service scrap metal recycling for individuals, contractors, and commercial businesses. Walk in — no appointment needed.
Scrap Metal Recycling
We buy all ferrous and non-ferrous metals at competitive prices based on daily commodity market rates. Walk in with anything from a bag of copper wire to a full truckload of structural steel — every load gets weighed on our certified scales and paid out the same day.
Non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel) are priced per pound. Ferrous metals (steel, iron) are priced per hundredweight (CWT). Prices update every morning and are posted live on this site — so you know what to expect before you load up.
Payment is cash or check, made at the time of your visit. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. For lead transactions, ID is required by law.
We Sell Metal
Everything on our yard is available for purchase. We carry structural steel, pipe, plate, angle iron, rebar, and non-ferrous metals including copper, aluminum sheet, and more. Inventory changes daily as new material comes in.
Whether you're a fabricator, contractor, or DIYer looking for raw material, walk in and browse. No intermediary markup — you're buying straight from the yard. Pricing varies by material type and quantity.

Container & Roll-Off Rental
Need a dumpster for a job site, renovation, or cleanout? Our DropABin service delivers roll-off containers directly to your location. Fill it at your pace — we pick it up and pay you for the scrap metal contents.
Available in 20, 30, and 40-yard sizes. Ideal for contractors, manufacturers, demolition crews, and large property cleanouts. Delivery and swap service available throughout Southeast Texas.
Commercial accounts with regular volume get priority scheduling and dedicated service. Call to discuss your needs.
Commercial Pickup
Businesses that generate regular scrap don't need to haul it in themselves. We offer scheduled pickup service for manufacturers, machine shops, fabrication facilities, and property managers on a set cycle — weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your volume.
We bring the container, you fill it, we pick it up and settle payment based on the load. Accounts receive itemized statements and can track transactions online.
We work with contractors and industrial operations throughout the Golden Triangle, including those serving the Motiva, TotalEnergies, and Valero refineries.
Who this is for
Vehicle Recycling
We pay cash for junk cars, trucks, vans, and heavy equipment. Vehicles are priced by weight based on current market rates for auto shred and ferrous metal. The process is simple: bring the vehicle, bring the title, get paid.
Title required.Under Texas law, we cannot purchase a vehicle without a valid title in your name. If you've lost the title, you'll need to obtain a replacement from TxDMV before we can process the transaction.
Drive it in, or call us to arrange pickup for vehicles that aren't running. Heavy equipment (excavators, forklifts, trailers) is welcome — call ahead so we can prepare the yard.

Wire Processing
Copper wire and cable are among the most valuable materials in recycling — but pricing depends heavily on copper content, which varies by insulation type and gauge. Our Chopworks facility handles specialized copper wire and cable processing, extracting maximum value from insulated wire.
Bring your wire in as-is. Leave the insulation on — we process it in-house. We accept Romex, THHN, armored cable (BX), communication cable, motor windings, and industrial cable of all gauges.
For large commercial wire loads (data center decommissions, electrical contractor cleanouts, utility cable), call ahead to discuss volume pricing.
Wire types accepted
