Why Recycle?
Metals recycling is the original green industry. Our recycling operations collect, process, and recycle almost all types and forms of metal. We process raw scrap metal through processes of sorting, shearing, shredding, torching and baling. Metals we process are used by steel mills and foundries across the United States and around the world to produce finished steel and other metal products. Through recycling, millions of tons of materials find new uses each year, helping us to keep Jackson and Central Mississippi clean and green while also serving as an efficient source of raw material for the manufacturers and suppliers that drive our economy.
