North Main Recycling - Scrap metal gets gathered, sorted, crushed, then taken to this place. Rent Historic Fort Worth tries as hard as we can not to throw stuff out (when we re-do houses and buildings, we accumulate lots of stuff), so we donate what we can, sell some of it, and scrap all of the metal here.
