Crystal Lake Recycling Inc

Elgin Recycling is a family owned business that has been in business for over 30 years. What once began as a silver smelting business in 1978 progressed into a small, non-ferrous recycling center in the 80's. Today we have expanded to a multi-facility operation, processing all metals and materials including ferrous metals, exotic alloys, paper, electronics and plastic. Using Niton analysis, we can quickly and accurately determine the alloy of your metal. We also provide brokering services, asset management, de-installation, light demolition and warehousing.

We have grown from our original recycling center to five full service scrap metal facilities in Elgin, Palatine, Crystal Lake, Gilberts and our new location in Elk Grove Township.

We service all companies, large and small, including industrial, commercial, contractors, jobsites and residential accounts. We accept walk-in business at all of our locations. Our goal is to provide our customers with supreme prices and fast, dependable service.

Elgin Recycling is always looking for hardworking, dedicated people to join our Elgin Recycling family! If you are interested in becoming a part of our team please feel free to visit any one of our locations and ask for an application.
