Why to Sell Your Surplus Steel and Pipe to Texas Iron & Metal

When you encounter a change order or a project scope change that leaves you with excess steel, you have some choices to make. Some choose to keep the steel on hand to avoid needing to order more for their next project. Others may choose to sell their surplus to a surplus steel buyer or to a metal scrapyard.

While there are some good reasons to choose storing your own surplus or selling to a scrapyard, we firmly believe selling to a surplus buyer is the best choice—and not just any surplus buyer—so that steel can be reused. Here's why we think you should sell your surplus steel and pipe to Texas Iron & Metal.

More Than 80 Years of Experience

While Texas Iron & Metal currently occupies more than ten acres just minutes from downtown Houston, our origins were much humbler. For nearly a decade, our founder ran the business from the back of his truck.

Those humble beginnings have stayed with us as we facilitate each purchase. Our deals are clear and structured, with your needs in mind every step of the way. That’s how we’ve been so successful with our surplus steel and pipe purchases for over eight decades.

Our Team Members Are Well-Versed in Steel

The Texas Iron & Metal team knows surplus steel inside and out. That means you’ll always get a fair price for your material, because we know the many ways it can be used, the people who need the material you’re selling, and how to determine the condition and aesthetic value.

We also know the reasons you may choose not to sell your surplus steel—such as a lack of transportation for your material or a lack of manpower to load and unload your product. We can help overcome all the hurdles you face and get money in your pocket as soon as possible.

We Buy It All

Some surplus steel buyers may not respond to sellers with small amounts of surplus steel. Others may not have the capacity and manpower to handle the purchase of a large quantity of material.

At Texas Iron & Metal, we’ll buy your surplus steel no matter how large or small the load. We purchase odd shapes and sizes and steel with aesthetic issues. We also purchase other metals, such as aluminum and stainless steel.

Storing Surplus Steel Will Cost You

If you’re still determined to hang onto your surplus steel rather than sell it to Texas Iron & Metal, we have one more reason why you should contact us. Storing that surplus steel will cost you.

Do you really have the room to store those stacks of odd steel pieces? Can you afford the warehouse space to keep your steel out of the elements just in case you ever need those specific products again? You really are better off freeing up the space for your current projects and recouping your money by selling your surplus.

When you’re ready, we’re here to help. Our experienced team has bought and sold steel for decades, and we know how to treat you right.
