Scrap Metal Processing and Recycling

At H&C Metals, we complete extensive metal processing and recycling to help businesses manage their waste and promote eco-friendly productivity. Our services include the initial stages of scrap metal processing — material collection, classification and processing. We prepare and package processed materials for shipment.

Domestic and international scrap metal consumers, such as smelters, mills and foundries, complete the recycling process by melting these materials and manufacturing new products for the global market. Domestic, environmentally responsible computer recyclers dismantle post-consumer electronics and the elements contained are reclaimed for manufacturing a variety of new products, including electronics.

 

Our Metal Recycling Facilities & Services

H&C Metals’ metal recycling facilities include:

  • Our Newark, NJ recycling location: We have a full-service scrap metal processing plant that handles nonferrous scrap and some electronic waste. This 30,000 square foot premises has wire and cable stripping machines, forklift trucks, shears, a baling machine and more to enable swift and thorough recycling processing. We simplify your recycling effort by weighing your scrap on our certified and calibrated scales and with an on-site ATM for quick payment on delivery.
  • Balemet Recycling’s ferrous metal facility: Balemet Recycling — our sister company — enables us to handle ferrous scrap, too. Equipped with machines including a grapple crane and bobcats, the facility can process ferrous metals like tin, loose or baled cans, steel drums, cast iron waste and more.

These facilities enable us to provide extensive commercial and industrial scrap metal recycling services and simplify recyclable waste delivery or management.

Specialized Commercial Scrap Solutions

With our well-equipped facilities and experienced team, H&C Metals can offer specialized services, including the following.

Metal Recycling

We recycle and process your scrap metal and electronic waste. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines recycling as “the separation and collection of materials that otherwise would be considered waste, the processing and remanufacturing of these items into new products, and the use of the recycled products to complete the cycle.”

Our scrap facilties function as “surface mines”– the first step in the recycling process for the life cycle of scrap industrial and consumer products, in particular, metal and electronic scrap (E-Scrap).

Construction Waste Management

H&C Metals can manage your construction site for simplified, eco-friendly waste management. Keep your site clean and sort recyclables with a dedicated on-site metal recycling container.

You can use our dumpsters to deposit metals, appliances, electronics and other materials that general waste services may reject. Once your container is full, you can call us for swift and responsive scrap metal pickup services to keep your site clean.

Scrap Metal Pickup & Removal

For a commercial property or residence, scrap pickup and removal can be a challenge without a truck or the proper equipment to haul it away safely. We can pick up and remove a variety of metals, including:

  • Insulated Aluminum and Copper Wire
  • Beverage cans
  • Lead
  • Transformers
  • Industrial waste
  • Steel
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Aluminum

We are at the beginning of a circular economy for scrap metals that promotes less waste, material reuse and eco-friendly consumer and manufacturing practices.
