That old car in your driveway is not junk. It is next year's steel beam.

So, what happens to your scrap metal? It gets sorted, processed and melted down in an electric arc furnace (EAF) to become brand-new steel, ready to build bridges, buildings and everything in between.

Recycling scrap metal is not just good for the planet; it keeps the whole circular economy turning.

Meet the demolition shear AKA the chicken shear 🐔 (no chickens involved, we promise).

It gets its nickname from the beak-shaped head, and it's one of the hardest workers on our yard.

Upon operation it:
💥 Slices through steel beams, rebar and structural scrap
✂️ Cuts material down to size for efficient processing and shipping
♻️ Keeps our yard moving fast and safe

Big claw, bigger impact. What tool should we introduce next?

4 years ago, Asia didn't know a Zorba from a Zurik. Now she's the first face customers see at Western Metals Recycling Plymouth.

As Scale Operator II, she runs traffic control, front desk operations, and safety education for every contractor and customer who enters the yard.

💬 "Safety is not only making sure you get home, but also sure everyone does. It is everyone's responsibility."

That mindset makes WMR Plymouth safer for everyone. 💚
