Why Recycle Your Iron and Steel?
Earn Money
You get paid for your scrap metal. Steel and iron are valuable commodities, and recycling centers will pay you based on the weight and quality of your materials.
Conserve Natural Resources
Recycling steel and iron significantly reduces the need to mine new iron ore, coal, and limestone. For every ton of steel recycled, approximately 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone are saved.
Reduce Landfill Waste
Ferrous metals are heavy and take up significant space in landfills. Recycling keeps these bulky materials out of our dumps.
Support the Local Economy
The recycling industry creates local jobs in collection, processing, and transportation. When you recycle locally, you are supporting your community's economy.
Save Massive Amounts of Energy
Making new steel from recycled materials uses about 74% less energy than producing it from raw materials. This energy savings helps reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Promote a Circular Economy
Recycling allows old products to be transformed into new ones, creating a closed-loop system that is sustainable and less reliant on finite resources.
More Than a Transaction
For our commercial clients, we know that time is money and logistics are everything. Managing a steady stream of scrap metal can be a challenge, which is why we position ourselves as a reliable partner in your commercial waste recycling program designed to integrate seamlessly with your operations. We have the machinery to safely handle and process large volumes, protecting your team from the risks associated with moving heavy metals.

We handle the pickup and replacement, ensuring your workflow is never interrupted.
