ABOUT US
For more than a decade, Tri Coastal Trading has been actively trading scrap metal throughout the United States, Mexico and overseas. TCT has grown into the largest independent recycler in Texas, with a revenue $350,000,000+ and annual tonnage exceeding 800,000 tons.
TCT started as a brokerage and trading company but has now established multiple scrap yards. Our shallow water dock (Greenwood) and deepwater dock (Woodhouse), provide us with the ability to serve the local Houston market. Our partnership with BRX in Monterrey, Mexico has expanded our presence into Northern Mexico amongst mills and manufacturers. We handle plastic, cardboard and scrap metal products.
TCT will always stay true to our independent, family business mentality. We strive to serve our clients with a high level of commitment, integrity and responsiveness.
