Clear Your Property of Unwanted Vehicles

Big Country Recycling LLC recycles scrap cars, trucks, and other vehicles that are no longer running or roadworthy in San Angelo.

When a truck stops running and sits behind the barn for two years, or a sedan with a blown engine takes up space in your driveway, you eventually need to do something with it. Big Country Recycling LLC recycles non-running, damaged, and end-of-life vehicles across San Angelo and the surrounding area, giving you a way to clear space and reclaim usable metal without paying for a tow to a junkyard that may not even take it.

This service is designed for vehicles that are no longer safe or practical to repair. Whether the frame is rusted through, the transmission is shot, or the vehicle was totaled in an accident, it can be recycled responsibly. The process extracts steel, aluminum, copper wiring, and other metals while ensuring fluids and hazardous materials are handled correctly.

If you have a vehicle you need removed in San Angelo, reach out to Big Country Recycling LLC to discuss your options.

How Vehicle Recycling Works in Practice

The first step is confirming the vehicle type, condition, and location in San Angelo. You provide basic details such as make, model, year, and whether it still has the engine and transmission. If the vehicle is accessible by tow truck or trailer, arrangements are made to pick it up or accept delivery at the facility.

Once the vehicle arrives, fluids such as oil, coolant, and gasoline are drained and stored according to environmental standards. The battery, catalytic converter, and other high-value components are removed before the frame is processed. What remains is crushed or sheared into manageable pieces and sorted by metal type for resale to manufacturing facilities.

This service does not cover vehicles that are still registered, operational, or being stored for future use. It is specifically for cars and trucks that have reached the end of their functional life. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, a quick conversation with the team will clarify what can be accepted and what documentation may be required.

You Are Not the First to Ask

Most people want to know if their vehicle is too far gone, what paperwork they need, and whether the recycling process costs them anything or pays them something.

What condition does the vehicle need to be in?
It can be non-running, rusted, wrecked, or missing parts. As long as it is primarily metal and not stripped to the point where only a shell remains, it is likely recyclable.
Do I need to bring the vehicle to the facility myself?
You can arrange for pickup or drop it off if you have a way to transport it. Many customers in San Angelo use a trailer or flatbed to bring in vehicles that no longer run.
What paperwork do I need to recycle a vehicle?
You typically need proof of ownership, such as a title or registration. If you do not have it, the team can explain what alternatives may be accepted in your situation.
How long does it take to process a vehicle?
Once the vehicle is at the facility, fluid removal and initial disassembly usually happen within a few days. Full processing depends on the size of the vehicle and current workflow.
Can I recycle a vehicle that has been sitting on my property for years?
Yes. Many rural properties in San Angelo have old trucks or farm vehicles that have not moved in years. As long as the frame and major components are still present, recycling is an option.
