Industrial buying

We started as a scrap metal recycler, buying scrap iron and metal, but we are now a full service recycling operation buying many types of materials. Our drivers in Raleigh and Goldsboro spend the week picking up material (metal, cardboard, plastics and wood) from factories and demolition sites from all over Eastern North Carolina. We have a large variety of trailers, roll off boxes, flat bed trailers, van trailers, so we are equipped to service your every need. Our systems make it easy for you to arrange pickups, by not only having an easy to use phone system to get to our dispatch teams, but you can also arrange for a pick up with some simple fast entries on our website at www.raleighscrapmetalrecycling.com. Importantly, due to our two operations, we combine our volume to get the best possible prices directly from steel mills and smelters, so we can offer you the best possible value! Call us at 919-828-5416 so we can be your full service recycling partner. We have great scrap metal prices, great cardboard recycle prices and great prices and service for plastics and wood.

Why Recycle?

Recycling is a major source of income, a profit enhancer for many industrial companies. It also brings added income for electricians and plumbers, but the great news is, it is great for the environment and the US Economy.

Energy Efficiency - Manufacturing new steel beams from old Iron and Metal saves about 55% of the energy vs. making beams from mined Iron Ore. Manufacturing new aluminum cans from melted down scrap aluminum cans, saves 90% of the energy, vs. making cans from mined Bauxite and Alumina. Recycling Plastics saves oil and recycling cardboard saves trees!

US Economy - We buy scrap metal, plastic, wood and cardboard from factories and we buy "metal trash" from the public. We then process it with our millions of dollars of equipment and then importantly we ship to China, Korea and more. The metal trash we buy in Raleigh, we sell and ship to China. It comes back as ipads and flat screen TVs. We are one of the largest exporters in North Carolina selling scrap metal, to China and creating jobs right here in Raleigh, North Carolina.

We are members of ISRI and the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.
