Allen is a Dallas suburb, located on the northern side of Plano, Garland, and Dallas. It is the 38th most populous city in the Texas with approximately 105,000 residents. Other cities close to it include McKinney, Denton, Lewisville, and Mesquite.
The city is one of the best places to live since the economy here is diverse, and it offers residents various recreational facilities. It is also home to various natural reserves such as Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife and Oak Point Park and Natural Reserve.
Allen developed from being a crop farming center to a diverse economic center with a low unemployment rate. Manufacturing, mining, and construction are major blue-collar economic sectors here, which makes the city an ideal place to sell scrap metal.
The laws regarding scrap metal in Texas are not that strict, but it would be good if you can familiarize with them before going to any facility. You’ll avoid frustrations, and you’ll know what to expect when you get to your preferred scrap yard.
Although Allen doesn’t have many scrap metal dealers, many people still sell these items. Here are the most recommended places you should consider.
If you are close to McKinney, we do recommend taking your materials to Ok Recycling on 3206 East University Drive, Texas Metal Company on 2431 East University Drive, and Wistron GreenTech on 2101 Couch Drive.
AutoZone Auto Parts is a good place to take used auto parts or a junk vehicle. The facility is located on 905 East Main Street, and they are open every day - including Sundays until 10pm.
The most recommended cash for gold places are Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, which you can find on 9166 Gaylord Parkway if you are close to Frisco. The other place we can recommend is Allen Gold and Silver Exchange on 550 South Watters Road Suite 164.
