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 a $350,000,000+ company with annual tonnage exceeding 800,000 tons.

In early 2021,  TCT acquired 19 acres on Buffalo Bayou which provides us with the ability to serve the local Houston scrap market.  Access to markets is the best way to insure the best pricing and our new location can ship via truck, rail and barge to markets around the corner or around the world.  With our independent, family business mentality we strive to serve the area with a high level of commitment, integrity and responsiveness.
