Deeply Rooted in the Recycling Industry
Atlas is built on nearly a century of experience in the scrap metal and recycling industry. What began as a local, family-operated scrap business has evolved into a trusted resource for businesses looking to responsibly recycle materials, recover value from their scrap, and simplify the process of moving recyclable commodities.
Today, we focus on serving commercial and industrial generators, manufacturers, contractors, demolition companies, automotive businesses, scrap yards, recyclers, and wholesale suppliers throughout Southern California and beyond.
More Than a Scrap Buyer
Our business is about more than purchasing scrap. We work with our customers to understand what they generate, how much they generate, and what it takes to move their material efficiently.
From a single truckload to an ongoing recycling program, Atlas can help coordinate the entire process—from material evaluation and market-based purchasing to containers, transportation, logistics, and downstream recycling.
Our capabilities include:
- Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap trading and brokerage
- Commercial and industrial recycling programs
- Wholesale scrap trading and brokerage
- Scrap bins and roll-off container service
- Coordination of end-dump, walking floor, flatbed, dry-van and walking floor transportation
- Equipment and machinery recycling
- Construction, demolition and decommissioning scrap recovery
- Consulting Services — onsite consulting, project support & management
Built on Relationships
The recycling industry has always been a relationship business, and we believe the best relationships are built through reliability, communication, competitive pricing, and doing what you say you’re going to do.
Whether we’re working with a contractor on a one-time project or a recycling company shipping multiple loads every week, our objective is the same: create a dependable outlet for our customer’s material and make doing business as simple as possible.
Recycling Made Simple
Scrap can be complicated. Markets move. Material needs to be graded. Containers need to be delivered. Trucks need to be scheduled. Loads need to be processed and ultimately placed with the right recycling outlet.
Atlas brings those pieces together.
Instead of coordinating multiple companies, our customers can make one call. Our team works to develop a solution based on the material, volume, location, transportation requirements, and current market.
Experience You Can Build On
After more than seven decades in the recycling industry, we’ve learned that the business continues to change—but the fundamentals don’t.
Know your material. Know your markets. Take care of your customers. Keep your word.
Those principles continue to guide Atlas as we build the next generation of our business.
Whether you have one load available today or thousands of tons generated throughout the year, we’d like the opportunity to earn your business.
