Our company has been in the same location for over half a century. It started out as a salvage company for military surplus equipment used in WWII. At that time it was operated by a family who rightly called it Follings & Sons recycling. As Industries grew so did the need for recycling. Follings & Sons specialized in servicing manufacturers' recycling needs by offering pickups of waste metal scraps. It was not until the year of 1962 that C & M Metals, Inc. would come to be with the introduction of a new partner, and a fresh new start. It was in 1962 that the partnership would come eye to eye with the fact that recycling was not only beneficial for large manufacturing companies but for everyone and would open its doors to the public as well. People from all over Los Angeles would come to recycle steel, aluminum, and other metals. For a great many years C & M Metals, Inc. would recycle thousands of tons per month of steel from both private and public sectors.

Today we are a still doing many of the things our founders did many years ago except with an much deeper emphasis to our environment and on a much larger scale. Many of the processes that were so popular in the early years of metal recycling are no longer performed because of their environmentally unfriendly affects. It is likely that the recycling industry will continue to change and adapt in response to the global need to recycle more and waste less. One thing is for certain C & M Metals, Inc. will be making every effort to bring the most recent and advanced methods of metal recycling today in our effort to promote a 'green,' lifestyle in our planet.

We have scrap bins to accommodate regular recycling intervals ranging in sizes of 15, 30, and 40yds when using our roll off bin services. These services have proved to be ideal for the one time, weekly, to monthly recycling intervals.

Bins / Dumpsters: We are now also offering smaller bins to accommodate the smaller businesses that require the same service but have limited space. These bins taking up as little as 16sq ft and as much as 30sq ft. These bins are ideal for the services that store high value recyclables in doors but can also be used for outdoor applications as well.

Larger Trucks / End Dumps / Tractor Trailers: For your larger projects we like to utilize your time by offering maximum efficiency by means of larger capacity hauling. These services range from tractor -trailer, end-dump, flat bed or van transport. This is a service commonly used by our demolition and construction suppliers. Most times a 24 hour notice is enough time to schedule a pickup, but if this is a large project please speak with a project coordinator to assist you with your needs.

Forklift / Skid steer / Equipment: There are times when the services of removing your recyclable materials require our additional assistance. In these cases we arrange for equipment to be at your site to do just that. We have most all equipment needed in our fleet to assist your needs. Everything from forklifts, skid steers, torches, plasma cutters, cranes, etc.

Used / Surplus Equipment

We here at C & M METALS INC. understand that not all things are ready for the metal grave yard. It is often when we are visiting a customer and the first thing they tell us is how much they paid for a piece of equipment and what a shame it is to scrap it out at a scrap metal rate. Let us try and sell your used or surplus equipment. There are many times when we have a market for such machines like, lathes, grinders, milling equipment, compressors, etc. The list goes on and on. Call and speak with either Don or Todd and see what their take is on your used equipment and see what a professional's opinion is on it.
