Recycling For Businesses

Recycling for Businesses: What We Help With

Most businesses generate metal waste that can be recycled instead of landfilled. Lee's Iron & Metal can help you capture scrap value, improve your sustainability metrics, and maintain documentation for compliance and reporting. You may want a business recycling program if you:

• Regularly produce metal scrap or byproducts
• Need to reduce waste disposal costs and landfill fees
• Want to lower raw material expenses through recycling rebates (where applicable)
• Lack storage space for scrap materials
• Need to follow local waste management and disposal rules
• Are updating facilities, replacing or decommissioning equipment, or managing end-of-life items
• Operate multiple locations or manage more than one waste stream
• Require documentation for audits, sustainability reporting, or regulatory needs

Materials commonly handled (acceptance depends on criteria):

• Ferrous scrap (steel/iron components, structural pieces, rebar and reinforcement where applicable)
• Non-ferrous scrap (aluminum, copper wiring/plumbing/piping, brass fixtures/hardware)
• Industrial and manufacturing metal byproducts
• Construction and demolition metal (HVAC metal components and ductwork—metal only, metal roofing, steel doors/frames/railings/fixtures, aluminum frames/siding, appliances/fixtures where accepted, lead materials where accepted and handled appropriately)

After reviewing your waste stream, we help you set up the best collection and processing approach (one-time cleanouts or ongoing service). You’ll typically receive transaction documentation such as scale tickets, and additional paperwork like certificates of destruction may be available upon request.
