Welcome to ABC Recycling, your community leader in metals recycling since 1912. We are a company deeply committed to preserving the world's resources by purchasing, processing, and selling scrap metals that might otherwise end up in landfills. As a trusted and respected business, we take pride in our rich history, our industry-leading practices, and our unwavering commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, and community engagement.
What We Buy - Overview
At ABC Recycling, we purchase a wide range of scrap metals from various sources, including household, industrial, and demolition projects. Our expertise spans across both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, and we are always on the lookout for reusable products that can be repurposed and integrated back into the economy.
- Ferrous Scrap Metals: We specialize in the recycling of ferrous metals, which include iron, steel, and other alloys containing iron. These metals are commonly found in appliances, vehicles, construction materials, and heavy machinery.
- Non-Ferrous Scrap Metals: Our portfolio extends to the purchasing and recycling of non-ferrous scrap metals, such as copper, aluminum, brass, and other valuable alloys. These metals are highly sought after due to their malleability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
- Unacceptable Materials: While we are committed to recycling a wide variety of metals, there are certain materials that we cannot accept due to safety, environmental, or regulatory concerns. Please refer to our Unacceptable Materials list for more information.
What We Sell - Overview
In addition to buying scrap metals, we also sell new and salvaged metals, as well as resale equipment. Our large inventory features a diverse selection of products available at competitive pricing, making us the go-to destination for individuals and businesses seeking high-quality, affordable metals.
