Recycling Metal

Recycling metal is a huge part of the service we offer here at TAMCO Construction. When we take on a demolition project, we go much further than tearing down a building and leaving a pile of rubble - we dismantle buildings piece by piece into salvageable materials that are truly valuable assets.


Recycling metal has always been one of the most lucrative branches of the demolition and removal business. Our company has decades of experience working with metals of all sorts including copper, brass, aluminum and steel - and have a longstanding relationship with the community's biggest salvage yards and recycling centers so that we can resell materials fast and translate that into savings for our clients.

The math is very simple - we start out with a demolition fee similar to or below the going rates of large scale companies, then we assess the value of the materials within the structure and deduct that from the bill. The result is a much more affordable demolition solution that also helps to protect the environment and better your community.

Demand is high for recycling metals. As the cost of raw materials gets more expensive, many builders and contractors are turning to salvaging and recycling for their supply. We stay one step ahead. We supply the dealers in the salvaging industry as well as small, independent contractors looking for affordable materials for projects. We have the experience and resources to extract these materials safely and efficiently so that they retain their value and are able to be used in future applications.

While some other demolition companies may approach a project looking at everything as waste that needs to be hauled off to the landfill, our team views each and every project from a recycling and salvage angle. We look at things differently: Where other companies see expenses, we see assets, and better yet, we have the knowledge and the networks to turn these assets into real dollars for those we serve.

Recycling metals and dealing with all of the materials on a site and removing them in ethical ways can be a headache and a huge challenge for other companies with less than eco-friendly practices.

We not only know the state, federal and local laws that regulate demolition, we have a working understanding of the economics of the industry, and we know how to leverage our trade so that our clients win. This is precisely why we are able to outbid competitors on jobs and offer budget-friendly estimates – even on jobs that are large in scale.

Recycling metal is only one aspect of the wide scale demolition service that we offer. We start with free consultations on every project and send in a team of experts to survey the structure rather than a salesman who is going to talk you into a contract that only benefits their company.

Our team offers expertise in construction, environmental law, logistics and safety so you will truly understand the process of demolition, recycling and salvaging materials from your site. We will be able to answer all of your questions and you will walk away with a much better understanding of the value of the property.

Recycling metal has become the default choice in this green era. There is no longer any reason to haul perfectly reusable nonrenewable resources to the landfill. Let us create a new beginning for your old structure.
