Metal Recycling Services Available to Manor, TX Residents and Businesses

Gardner Metal Recycling is a family-owned scrap metal recycling facility on US-290 East in Austin, approximately 10 minutes from central Manor. We've operated continuously for over 60 years.

We serve Manor's booming construction and development sector along with homeowners, contractors and industrial operations throughout Travis County.

No dedicated scrap metal recycler operates within Manor city limits. Whether you're hauling copper pipe from a renovation or managing ongoing construction scrap from a commercial job site, our facility is the closest option.

We buy both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The simplest way to tell the difference is the magnet test. If a magnet sticks, the metal is ferrous (iron, steel). If it doesn't, the metal is non-ferrous (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel).

Non-ferrous metals typically carry a higher per-pound value, but ferrous metals make up for it in volume.

What Types of Scrap Metal Can You Sell in Manor, TX?

We accept a wide range of metals from Manor residents and businesses, including:

• Stainless steel
• Iron and steel
• High-temperature alloys and exotic metals
• Cable and wire

The form your metal comes in matters less than the quantity and how clean it is. For specific grading details, visit our metals we buy page. All materials are graded according to Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) standards.

How to Prepare Your Scrap Metal and Get the Best Price in Manor, TX

These steps apply whether you're bringing in a small load from a Manor home project or staging materials at a construction site.

• Sort metals into ferrous and non-ferrous piles. Ferrous metals stick to a magnet; non-ferrous metals don't.
• Separate different metal types. Keep copper, aluminum and brass in their own groups. Mixed loads take longer to process and may grade lower.
• Remove non-metal attachments. Strip off plastic, rubber, wood and insulation when possible. The cleaner the metal, the higher it grades.
• Clean off excess grease, oil or debris. Dirty metal is worth less because contamination adds processing cost.
• Gather your Texas-required documentation. You'll need a valid government-issued photo ID (Texas driver's license, state ID or US military ID), your vehicle license plate information and proof of ownership or a signed ownership attestation.
• Call ahead for large loads. Contact us at 512-292-1022 for current pricing and to coordinate a drop-off or pickup time.

How Are Scrap Metal Prices Determined Near Manor, TX?

Scrap metal prices in Manor and across Travis County are set by global commodity markets and change daily. Non-ferrous metals like copper, brass and aluminum command higher per-pound prices than ferrous metals like iron and steel, though ferrous materials often make up for the difference in volume.

Copper is the most valuable common scrap metal. Bare bright copper wire, which is clean and stripped of all insulation, pays the highest rate. Copper recycling is one of the strongest ways to reclaim value from construction and electrical projects.

Do You Need ID to Sell Scrap Metal in Texas?

Yes, Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1956 requires every scrap metal seller to present valid identification. The Texas Department of Public Safety enforces this through the Texas Metals Program.

You'll need to show a valid US state-issued driver's license, state ID or US military ID. We also record your vehicle make, model, color and license plate number. These requirements exist to prevent metal theft and protect everyone involved in the transaction.

Why Manor's Growth Makes Scrap Metal Recycling in Manor More Important Than Ever

Manor is the 4th fastest-growing city in the United States, and Travis County is feeling the impact across every construction corridor. The population has surged from under 6,000 in 2010 to approximately 34,000 today, with projections reaching 80,000 within five to seven years.

That growth means construction crews across Manor are generating scrap metal at every phase of every project. Major developments like Manor Crossing at US-290 and FM 973, and Wonik Materials' $46 million facility on Old Kimbro Road are adding to that volume at the commercial and industrial scale.

Active home builders like Perry, Chesmar, Richmond American, Pacesetter and Taylor Morrison are putting up homes across ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley and Presidential Glen.

New residential construction alone produces copper wire offcuts, aluminum siding scrap, steel framing material, HVAC ductwork and plumbing pipe.

When you recycle construction scrap, you keep material out of Travis County landfills and lower your disposal costs. Recycling steel saves 74 percent of the energy required to produce it from raw ore. Aluminum recycling saves 95 percent.

Those numbers add up as Manor's construction pipeline keeps expanding.

Manor's municipal hauler, Waste Connections, handles residential and commercial collection but does not offer commercial-grade scrap metal recycling. Our container rental and demolition clearing services are built specifically for high-volume, project-based scrap generation in growing markets like Manor.

Major employers near Manor, including the Tesla Gigafactory to the southwest and Samsung's facility to the north, are driving industrial scrap generation across the region.

Workers commuting along US-290 to these facilities can stop by our yard on the way home. We also serve Pflugerville, Elgin and Hutto along the same corridor.

How Can Manor Contractors Save Money by Recycling Construction Scrap?

Traditional dumpster services charge you to haul material to a Travis County landfill. We pay you for the metal content instead.

For active construction projects in Manor, a container rental from Gardner Metal Recycling collects all construction scrap metal on-site. When the container is full, we pick it up and pay you for the metal inside.

The result: lower disposal costs, a cleaner job site and a check instead of an invoice. For contractors running multiple Manor projects, those savings show up on every job.
