What We Don't Buy |
To ensure that Grossman processes scrap in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner, we don't accept scrap loads containing free-flowing liquids, waste of any kind (including hazardous), trash or debris, radioactive materials, or non-metallic items without prior approval.
We enforce this policy through careful inspections of all incoming scrap loads. Our radiation detectors prevent radioactive materials from entering our facility.
While we're always glad to advise our customers on proper methods of disposal, we ask that your scrap loads don't contain any of the listed items.
We appreciate your business and your efforts to help us recycle safely and responsibly. If you have any questions about your materials, please call our office at 314.231.9423 before you bring a load to our plant. |
