Western Metals Recycling

Why Should YOU Choose Western Metals Recycling?

When we – the nearly 250 employees of WMR – look at scrap, we don’t see heaps of rusty, old metal. We see potential. Potential for shiny new cars and appliances. Potential for affordable feedstock for production. And of course, for conserving energy and creating a cleaner environment. Then we go to work, harnessing all that potential with the best technology in the business.

I joined Western Metals in 2006. Since then, the WMR commitment to safety has had a tremendous impact on my life. What started as a work related concept has become a big part of my home life. It is rare for a company to truly practice what they preach. I have been very fortunate to work for such a company. My recycling facility has become like a home to me and my team members are more like family than co-workers. I look forward to working with my WMR family for many years and I am truly excited for the future opportunities that Western Metals has to offer.

I’ve worked for different companies in my career before landing at the David J. Joseph family of companies back in 2001. There is no other organization I’d rather be with. Since 2006, I’ve had the opportunity to be with DJJ’s operating group as part of Western Metals Recycling LLC – again, no other LLC I’d rather work with! It’s been my experience that in whatever capacity I’ve been in, I appreciate that they ‘practice what they preach’ - my definition of integrity. Bottom line, working for this company has given me growth opportunities I don’t believe I could have achieved with any other company. I’m honored to be a part of such a great organization.

It has been my pleasure to work with Western Metals for 15 years now! I owned my own scrap metal business for 25 years and sold it to WMR in 1997. Employees who made the change with me it has been a perfect match. The culture and integrity of the Western Metals family are without equal. To work for a company where safety, honesty, integrity and profit each lend themselves to success makes getting up and going to work in the morning easy. Our customers sense and see the employee commitment and love to do business with us. Here’s to many more years of success!
