Recycling in Stephenville: A Local Guide
Stephenville, the seat of Erath County in North Central Texas, has three recycling-related facilities serving its roughly 20,000 residents and the surrounding ranching community. The options range from a university recycling center to two private scrap metal buying yards.
The Tarleton State University Recycle Center on College Farm Road — past the horse pens on the TSU farm — is operated by the university's Environmental Services department and accepts paper, cardboard, certain plastics, metals, automotive batteries, and large appliances. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with no weekend or holiday drop-offs. A second drop-off point is available at the Environmental Services Office at 511 N. Neblett St. during the same hours. The facility does not accept glass, electronics, or tires, and given its campus location, it primarily serves the TSU community — call (254) 968-8059 before visiting if you are not affiliated with the university.
For scrap metal, Stephenville Iron and Metal at 3229 N US Hwy 377 is a well-equipped buying yard with a 70-foot certified truck scale and a drive-through indoor warehouse. They purchase ferrous and non-ferrous metals Monday through Friday, 7 AM–4 PM, and offer roll-off box service for larger loads. They do not accept lithium batteries, pressurized cylinders, refrigerant-containing appliances, CRT monitors, or asbestos. Call (254) 968-4766 for current pricing.
Metalmaxx Recycling at 1825 E Washington St is a second scrap buyer in Stephenville. Their website currently redirects elsewhere, so call (254) 595-1675 to confirm the location is actively operating and to get current pricing before bringing materials.
