Georgia Recycling Group, Inc

Our Story

From the time William Alewine and his wife began collecting scrap in a little red wagon in the 1940s, the need for scrap metals has grown. Alewine recognized that need in the area around Athens, Georgia, and expanded his business in 1949, purchasing Athens Auto Wrecking and one truck. In 1968, Alewine relocated the company to Hull, where it has since flourished. William’s grandson, Joe, and his wife, Kristie, purchased from him in 1999.

Although our name was rebranded as Georgia Recycling Group in 2020, you can feel rest assured that our commitment to exceptional customer service, environmental consciousness, community outreach, and adherence to the founding principles remains unwavering, just as it has been since the 1940s, ensuring our continuous success in business.
