Services
Ferrous Scrap Recycling
We process all forms of iron and steel scrap materials including structural beams, appliances, and industrial metals. Our facility accepts heavy melt steel, rebar, sheet metal, and tin products. Ferrous metals are identified by their magnetic properties and form a core part of our recycling operations.
Non-Ferrous Scrap Recycling
Our facility handles non-magnetic metals like aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. We accept materials ranging from aluminum cans and siding to copper wiring and industrial alloys. Non-ferrous recycling requires specialized sorting processes to maintain material purity and value.
Construction Recycling
We provide roll-off containers and bulk pickup services for construction and demolition projects. Our 10-40 cubic yard containers accommodate large volumes of metal waste. This service supports fabrication shops, demolition companies, and industrial accounts with efficient waste management solutions.
Residential Recycling
Our retail yards offer convenient drop-off locations for individuals and small businesses. We accept household metal items including appliances, automotive parts, and aluminum products. Certified scales ensure accurate payment for all residential recyclables.
Pickup Services
We operate our own fleet for scheduled pickups across Chesterfield County. Services include same-day response for urgent requests and specialized equipment for large-scale industrial clients. Our drivers maintain consistent schedules to minimize operational disruptions for businesses.
