Mining takes a toll on the environment, defacing the earth, using up precious natural resources and generating a huge carbon footprint. Recycling metal from demolitions, out of use machinery, appliances, and even empty soda cans doesn’t just require less effort than mining but is much better for the environment too. In fact, estimates suggest that the process of recycling steel emits 58 percent less CO2 than making steel from scratch and requires 56 percent less energy too while the recycling of aluminium only takes around 5 percent of the energy required to produce the original metal. Aluminium, copper, and steel are among the most widely recycled metals, but most others can be reused too.

The Story Behind Allied Salvage & Metals

Allied Salvage & Metals was started way back in 1952 by Isador Weinstein, who started the company by peddling for materials and recycling them along with a couple of employees. While many scrap companies are now owned by huge corporates, Allied Salvage is still family-run and owned.

Isador Weinstein was joined by his son George, who helped expand the business to new locations and markets. Today, the company is led by Arthur Weinstein, Isador’s grandson, who has been the president since 1985 while his son Ian represents the fourth generation of Weinsteins working in the company.

With a family history of recycling scrap materials for more than 70 years, the original values and principles that inspired the formation of the business – environmentalism, conservation, recycling, and hard work still run strong.

Arthur Weinstein likens what they do to “mining the surface of the world”, decreasing reliance on conventional mining and prolonging human access to natural resources. Under Arthur’s leadership, the company has grown to new heights becoming a leader in scrap recycling owning trucks, cranes, shears, balers and excavators that allows them to accommodate the needs of all our local customers as well as expand on a global level.
