Scrap Metal Recycling
Responsible metal recovery that keeps finite resources in circulation
What is Scrap Metal?
American Resources buys and recycles ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal from Atlanta businesses and industrial sites. We collect, sort, and weigh steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless on certified scales, pay current market rates with transparent documentation, and return every pound to the supply chain instead of the landfill.
Scrap metal is a finite resource — too valuable to the planet to end up in a landfill. We collect, sort, process, and recycle ferrous and non-ferrous metals from businesses and industrial sites across Atlanta, returning them to the supply chain with fair, transparent pricing on every load.
From steel beams and aluminum siding to copper wiring and brass fixtures, we handle metals of every type and volume. Our accurate weighing and transparent sorting give you a documented, fair accounting of every pound recycled.
