Do I need an ID to recycle at Bracken Recycling?

Texas law requires a valid, non-expired state-issued driver's license or ID card for regulated metals including aluminum (excluding cans), copper, brass, stainless steel, and lead. Fingerprinting and vehicle information are also recorded. Scrap iron and aluminum cans do not require ID.

Does Bracken Recycling pay cash for scrap?
