About this center
Cen-Tex Scrap and Metal is the Killeen yard of M. Lipsitz and Company, a scrap business operating since 1895 with 14 locations across Texas and Oklahoma. Walk-ins need no appointment during business hours, and sellers show identification for regulated metals, except aluminum beverage cans. A Texas Department of Agriculture certified truck scale sits on site.
The buying list runs from heavy iron, plate and structural steel, pipe, and cars to copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, ACSR, insulated wire, radiators, electric motors, and lead acid batteries. Cars carry fees for tires, coolant, fuel tanks, and batteries left on, and refrigerators and air conditioners arrive with coolant evacuated. The yard runs its own trucks and roll-off boxes and offers scrap programs for multi-location accounts.

Not impressed by the price. I recycled 180 pound aluminum block engine. Drove inside the dusty yard with the high possibility of getting a flat from all the metal crap that is on the ground....and that's all I got for it ... I don't know maybe I am asking too much. 15 cent per pound of "aluminum breakage" Personnel is helpful no issues there.

Dropped off some scrap computer boards and laptops. A nicely dressed younger guy (assistant manager?) was incredibly friendly and helpful. I was going to give stuff to them for free so it was disposed of properly but he took the time to weigh it all and get a few dollars. Another guy was not AT ALL happy that the assistant manager allowed me to pick through the stuff they had I assume he was the manager or owner of the place... They made a pretty penny off the small amount of stuff I bought so hopefully I'm allowed to visit again?
