Scrap or Steel

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of scrap metal do you accept?

We accept most common ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, including steel, iron, copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless, as well as appliances and industrial scrap. If you’re unsure about a specific item, call our San Antonio yard and our team can confirm whether we can take it.

Do I need an appointment to drop off scrap metal?

No. You do not need an appointment for standard scrap metal drop-off. During business hours you can pull into the yard, follow the posted signs, and our team will guide you through the scale, unloading, and payment process.

Do you post scrap metal prices online?

We do not post real-time scrap metal prices online because market rates change frequently. For current pricing, call our office and we’ll give you the latest information based on the type and volume of scrap you plan to bring in.

Do you deliver steel orders or is it pickup only?

Many customers pick up steel directly from our Roosevelt Avenue yard, but local delivery is available for qualifying orders in the San Antonio area. Contact us with your material list, quantities, and job site location so we can review delivery options and scheduling.

Do you provide roll off containers for scrap metal in San Antonio?

Yes. River City Steel & Recycling provides roll off containers and end dump trailers for construction, demolition, industrial, and commercial projects. We deliver the container to your job site, pick it up when it’s full, and handle the scrap metal weighing and payment on our end.
