Putting Safety First: A Core Value at Premier Metal Buyers

June is National Safety Month, and at Premier Metal Buyers, we proudly celebrate an essential daily commitment: keeping our people, customers, and communities safe.

Safety is not just a focus for one month; it’s one of our core values. We ensure safety every single day. Whether we're working on-site at industrial accounts across Central Texas and Greater Houston or assisting customers at our scrap facility in Brenham, safety remains at the core of every interaction.

Why Safety Matters in Scrap Metal Recycling

The scrap metal recycling industry operates quickly. Heavy equipment, large material volumes, and daily foot traffic from industrial and individual clients create a bustling environment. In such a setting, there is no room for shortcuts. That’s why we’ve built a company culture where safe practices are standard. This commitment is upheld by our entire team and everyone who steps onto our yard.
