What is non-ferrous recycling and processing?
Beartown Recycling buys, processes, and sells all grades of non-ferrous scrap metal. Non-ferrous scrap consists of base metals that are non-magnetic: copper, aluminum, brass, lead, and stainless among them.
We offer non-ferrous processing to the general public, demolition companies, and private businesses, and pay by grade so a clean, sorted load earns what it should.

Your metals are handled with care from start to finish. We use accurate scales and clear sorting methods. A coffee can of brass fittings gets weighed as carefully as a full truck.
