Two pits east of the shore
Michel Mine and the Marble Falls quarry, both under three miles out
Michel Mine, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 2.9 miles east of Cottonwood Shores, and the Marble Falls crushed-stone quarry, the same 2.9 miles away to the north-east, put two aggregate pits on the town’s doorstep. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that cycles between those pits and local job sites is exactly the kind of equipment we collect, and it can stay right where it is parked for the pickup.
If your truck is kept at one of those quarry yards rather than at your house, tell us whose gate it sits behind and who can unlock it. Send photos of the cab, the bed or trailer, the frame and the tires, plus the VIN, and we will have a clear picture of the truck before anyone heads out from Cottonwood Shores.
Flatbeds that move block from Sunset Quarries and Cordova
Sunset Quarries, a dimension-stone operation 3.6 miles north-east according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, cuts block and slab rather than crushed rock. If you run a flatbed or step-deck with a loader crane or tie-down gear on that work, we buy the truck, and the trailer too if you want both gone.
Farther out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cordova Quarry, another dimension-stone site, 18.9 miles to the east. A flatbed working the Cordova run may be parked closer to that quarry than to Cottonwood Shores; give us the location it actually sits at and we plan the collection around that spot.
North toward the pit
Hauling from Eagle’s Nest Mine north of Cottonwood Shores
North of Cottonwood Shores, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Eagle’s Nest Mine, a sand and gravel operation, 14 miles away. If you own a belly-dump, a tri-axle dump or a water truck that has worked that pit, call us about it.
Before we come for a truck that has worked Eagle’s Nest, have the title and current registration in one place, and gather any service records or inspection sheets you kept. If the truck carried a company decal or a mine permit, mention it so the paperwork questions are settled in the first conversation.
Cattle, goats and horses on Burnet County ranches
Around Cottonwood Shores, ranch work shows up in the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which counts 1,428 farms in Burnet County, led by cattle, goats and equine operations. Livestock haulers, stock-trailer tractors and flatbeds used for hay all come off places like these, and we buy them from ranch owners directly.
If your ranch truck sits in a barn lot or a pasture rather than on pavement, say so. Tell us whether the gate is locked, whether the ground is firm, and whether a trailer is still hitched, so the person who comes out to Cottonwood Shores arrives ready for the spot.
A missing title goes through the tax office on E. Polk Street
Titles here are handled by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Cottonwood Shores that is the Burnet County Tax Office at 1701 E. Polk St Ste 96, Burnet, 78611, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles places 15.6 miles from town. If the title has gone missing, that county tax assessor-collector office is where a certified copy is requested.
Start the copy request early if the title is lost, and tell us about it on the first call rather than at pickup. If a lender still holds a lien, have the payoff letter or lien release ready too; together with the title, that is what lets the sale close in Cottonwood Shores without a second trip to Burnet.
