Rock at the doorstep
Michel Mine and Sunset Quarries at the edge of town
Michel Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 0.9 miles north-east of Meadowlakes on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. A tandem dump or end-dump tractor that runs aggregate out of a pit that close to home may well be parked at the quarry gate or in a driveway in town when you sell it, and either spot suits us. Send us the address, the VIN and a few photos of the bed, the cab and the tires, and we arrange collection there.
Sunset Quarries, listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a dimension-stone quarry 1.6 miles north-east, cuts block and slab rather than gravel. Trucks that move cut stone tend to be flatbeds and step-decks with tie-down gear, so mention the deck length and any tarps, straps or chains that go with the truck. Keep the registration and any service records together so the handover at the yard is one short visit.
Crushed rock, due north
The Marble Falls pit, due north
Another crushed-stone operation, registered with the Mine Safety and Health Administration under the name Marble Falls, sits 1.6 miles north of Meadowlakes. Quarry haulers from that site often stay on short loops between the pit, batch plants and job sites, so tell us where the truck spends its nights and whether a lowboy or a rollback can reach it.
If the dump body, a pup trailer or a water tank comes with the tractor, list each piece separately when you contact us. A photo of every VIN plate, including the trailer’s, lets us match the title to the equipment before we arrive in Meadowlakes.
Sand from Eagle’s Nest, slab from Cordova
Eagle’s Nest Mine, a sand and gravel operation, is 14.1 miles north-west of town according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and Cordova Quarry, another dimension-stone site in that federal register, is 16.9 miles east. A truck working either one may be kept out at the site instead of at home, and we collect from a quarry yard as readily as from a street in Meadowlakes.
Give us the name of the site and a contact who can open the gate, plus the day of the week the truck is easiest to reach. With that and a clear photo of the odometer and the VIN, the pickup can be planned around the operator’s schedule rather than yours.
Hay, stock and feed
Goat and horse ranches beyond the lake houses
Around Meadowlakes the leading livestock are cattle, goats and horses, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,428 farms across Burnet County. Ranch work like that keeps stock trucks, gooseneck haulers and flatbeds carrying hay and feed on the roads, and we buy those as well as quarry equipment.
A ranch truck is often parked in a barn or a back pasture; tell us how the gate opens and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle. If the truck is registered to the ranch rather than to you personally, have the name on the title ready and the authority to sign for it.
The county seat
Polk Street, for a certified copy of the title
Titles in this state are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles them through county tax assessor-collector offices. A Meadowlakes owner who has misplaced a title goes to the Burnet County Tax Office at 1701 E Polk St Ste 96, Burnet, 78611, a trip of 14.3 miles on the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ county office listing.
Bring photo identification and the VIN when you apply there for a certified copy, and if a lender is still shown as lienholder, ask that office what release it needs. Once the copy is in your hands, send us a photo of the front so we can check the name and VIN against the truck.
The questions we get asked in Meadowlakes
- Will you pick up a truck that is parked at a quarry near Meadowlakes?Michel Mine, Sunset Quarries and the Marble Falls pit all lie within 1.6 miles of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and we collect from quarry yards like those as well as from homes in Meadowlakes. Name the quarry and the person holding the gate key, and the crew can be sent straight there.

Take your driver’s licence and the seventeen-character VIN off the door jamb when you go up Polk Street.
- Will you collect a gooseneck stock hauler off a Burnet County goat ranch?Cattle, goats and horses lead the farm sector across the 1,428 Burnet County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and stock trucks, gooseneck haulers and flatbeds from ranches like those are trucks we buy. Photos of the hauler beside the barn, plus its VIN, are all we need to begin.
