John Dobelbower founded Green Option Recycling, after having a minority ownership interest in another scrap facility.  John saw the value that scrap metal facilities can bring into the community.  His efforts in starting Green Option were three fold:

1. Always leave the planet in better shape for future generations.

2. Employ as many hardworking people as possible to help provide for their families and for the community as a whole.

3. Help people make extra money for choosing to be responsible with their waste.

John believes that he and his team are primed for future success, because he understands the most important part of any organization is the people that are in it, and his team has proven time and time again that they are the best of the best.

Locally owned and operated by Waco native John Dobelbower, Green Option Recycling has over 25 years of combined experience in metals recycling and catalytic converter grading. Our Team is dedicated to providing a customer-centric scrap facility.

Our Mission:

Green Option believes in keeping our communities and planet a cleaner, safer, place for everyone. With your help we can continue to make and keep Waco beautiful.

Our Goal:

To always give our customers honest and competitive up-to-date pricing while providing fast and friendly customer service to everyone.

Our Vision :

It has always been our vision to be a place where anyone can bring any amount of scrap, and get competitive prices for their decision to protect the environment.

Our goal starting out was to have a yard where our grandparents would be comfortable selling their scrap.  We know that scrap yards can sometimes be intimidating places, but with our customer-centric approach to doing business we hope to change that stigma.

Moving forward we aspire to be the largest, most effiecient scrap facility in central Texas.  A large part of this is reducing wait times for our patrons.  We always strive to get you unloaded and paid as fast as possible.

An important part of our business is in helping our commercial client accounts. We strive to be as easy to do business with as possible.  From having on demand container service to having dedicated scales for our commercial partners, we are here to make your business more profitable and less of a headache in getting rid of unwanted or unused scrap materials.
