Strategic Scrap Recycling
Increasing your scrap revenue begins with a careful evaluation of your company’s production processes. We often find that sorting processes and segregation methods can be improved, resulting in greater efficiency and higher return on your scrap.
The evaluation will also include a look at environmental risk, and other waste recovery that can save money by incorporating:
- intelligent container design based on your materials
- segregation techniques that work with your process
- improved signage
- employee training that saves time and labor
- flexible, cost-saving pickup scheduling,
Schupan has helped thousands of companies recover millions of previously lost scrap dollars, while saving time and labor.
Prepare your scrap to get the most money.
Remove any type of contaminants: dirt, plastic, rubber, etc.
The consumer mills that utilize scrap material will only receive clean, uncontaminated scrap, which they can put directly in the furnace. The labor savings is passed to our customers if we receive material which has no contaminants.
Waste oils and fluids that contaminate the scrap material are an environmental threat and are regulated by the EPA. Schupan will provide non-leaking boxes for collecting wet or oily scrap material, which eliminates unsafe, unsightly oils and fluids at your facility.
Sort aluminum, steel, copper, etc. into separate boxes.
The consumer mills normally melt specific types of material in a specific “recipe”. Anything extra in the recipe reduces its value or devalues it entirely. Schupan Industrial Recycling separates these materials for the consuming mills. The additional labor savings is passed to our customers if we receive material which has no contaminants.
Trucking costs are high, so delivering material to our plants will allow us to pay more.
Each Schupan Industrial Recycling location has a Drive-Thru retail scrap buying operation, which provides absolute convenience and safety for our customers.
Schupan Industrial Recycling accepts all scrap metal at our Drive-Thru locations. Schupan is not equipped to handle automobiles, propane tanks, and other potentially hazardous materials.
Our transportation cost for 50 pounds of material is the same as 35,000 pounds.
We will gladly pay higher prices if our customers are able to accumulate more scrap material because our cost per pound will be lower.
Schupan custom containers are available for collecting your material cleanly and efficiently. Please contact us for a container evaluation.
