Modesto's Premier Material Recycling Facility
Metal is our specialty, but it isn’t the only thing we handle. Over more than a century in Modesto, we’ve worked with all kinds of recyclable materials that don’t fall under one heading, including industrial scrap plastics from manufacturing runs. Because these loads vary so much, we price them by quote rather than a set rate. If you’ve got something you’re not sure about, call us or bring a sample and we’ll tell you whether we can take it.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about recycling, accepted materials, pricing, or how the process works? Find quick answers to help make your visit easy and hassle-free.
What counts as "other materials"?
These are recyclable materials outside our standard metal categories, and industrial scrap plastics are the most common. If you generate byproduct or surplus from manufacturing and aren’t sure where it fits, this is the place to ask.
What kind of industrial scrap plastic do you take?
We work with clean, sorted industrial plastics from production, like regrind, purgings, and off-spec runs. Consumer and mixed household plastics are a different stream, so call first to confirm your material qualifies.
Why is pricing done by quote instead of a set rate?
Unlike a common metal grade, these materials vary in type, cleanliness, and volume. Quoting each load lets us give you a fair number for exactly what you bring, instead of a one-size-fits-all price.
Can I set up regular pickups for industrial plastic?
Yes. If your operation produces scrap plastic steadily, we can set up bin placement and a pickup schedule so it doesn’t pile up between runs.
What if I'm not sure whether you accept my material?
Just ask. Call or bring a small sample, and our team will tell you whether we can recycle it and roughly what it’s worth. There’s no harm in checking before you haul in a full load.
How do I get a price for my materials?
Because these loads are quoted individually, reach out with a description or bring a sample. We’ll look at the type, condition, and quantity, then give you a price and pay cash if you decide to sell.
