Tyler is a city in Smith County, known to be the Rose Capital of the World. It is the largest city in its county, and the 37th most populous city (population of 105,000 residents) in Texas. Cities close to it include Dallas, Waco, and Austin.
One of the things that attracts millions of visitors to Tyler is the Texas Rose Festival, held on October, annually. If you are a nature lover, you can visit the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden & Museum, which is the largest Rose showcase in the U.S.
The city, named after John Tyler – America’s 10th president, has a diverse economic base. Manufacturing, mining, technology, and construction are major sectors here, which creates a need for constant supply of scrap metal.
One of the businesses you can start here is selling these metals. The scrap metal laws in the state are favorable to sellers and these metals sell at very good prices.
The city doesn’t have many scrap yards. However, the few available are reputable and offer good prices. As you plan to go, ensure that you call the facility to know whether they take the types of scrap metals you have to avoid going back with them.
Here are a few places we can recommend.
If you are in the northern side of Tyler, the most recommended place here is Tyler Iron & Metal on 1630 West North West Loop. You can also go to Bloch Metals on 2928 Industrial Avenue. If you want to sell a junk vehicle, we recommend RCS Auto Recyclers on 10809 US-271 and Locos Gringos Pick N Pull n 10310 County Road 383.
Scrap metal dealers on the western side of the city West Tyler Scrap & Auto Core on 4136 Chandler Highway, Auto Parts Warehouse: Auto Salvage Yard on 10087 County Road 1125, and K & L Recycling on 4134 Chandler Highway.
