J.R.'s Recycling

J.R.'s is a family owned business established in 2009.  We care about the environment and believe it is everyone's responsibility to help keep our earth clean.  We believe it's important to keep our environment clean to enjoy for generations to come. Knowing the benefits of metal recycling we came up with the idea of J.R.'s Recycling to provide a free service that allows everyone to be green!

 Metal Recycling Saves Energy

 Recycling scrap metal reduces greenhouse gas emissions and uses less energy than making metal from virgin ore. The amount of energy saved using various recycled metals compared to virgin ore is up to:

92 percent for aluminum

90 percent for copper

56 percent for steel

Metal Recycling Conserves Natural Resources

Metal recycling also conserves natural resources. Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone. Recycling a ton of aluminum conserves up to 8 tons of bauxite ore and 14 megawatt hours of electricity.

Recycling metals especially effective because they can be recycled almost indefinitely, thereby making extremely friendly to the environment. Metals are different from polymer plastics in that their properties can be restored fully whatever physical or chemical form they are in, although sometimes the process is costly and difficult.
