Nott Recycling

Nott Recycling is a family owned and operated Richmond scrap metal recycling center. We pay cash for scrap so that we can recycle these materials for rebuilding purposes. We buy any commercial and residential scrap metal recyclables in order to process, clean, sort, and add the items to the inventory on our Buy page. We then sell export metals that are currently at our yard in bulk volume and container sales. We commonly purchase:

Non-Ferrous Materials – Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Stainless, Other CommoditiesFerrous Materials – Iron, Steel, Tin

Our comprehensive scrap metal recycling services allow us to accept scrap metal orders of all sizes. Along with our reliable services, we also strive to offer the best customer service in scrap metal recycling.

Scrap metals are melted down and remanufactured into new products, a process that considerably reduces greenhouse gas emissions and conserves energy and natural resources. Recycling is a major source of income, a profit enhancer for many industrial companies. It also brings added income for electricians and plumbers, but the great news is, it is great for the environment and the US Economy.
Energy Efficiency: Manufacturing new steel beams from old Iron and Metal saves about 55% of the energy vs. making beams from mined Iron Ore. Manufacturing new aluminum cans from melted down scrap aluminum cans, saves 90% of the energy, vs. making cans from mined Bauxite and Alumina.
We buy scrap metal from factories, construction, demolition professional and from the public. We then process it with our equipment and then we ship to US smelters, export to China, Korea, India and many other partners throughout the world. The metals we recover come back in useful items such as household wire, electronics and other consumer goods.

In 1887, Frank H. Nott was founded in Richmond, VA. Growing from a single person to a 3 shift operation. Originally located on Brook Road in Richmond, VA, the company continue to grow while serving the general public, many commercial and industrial accounts to handle all of their scrap metal needs and preventing the landfilling of many materials.

Over the years the company developed and used many processes to improve recovery of materials, be more environmentally friendly and providing a great service to its customers. Over the years the company continued to grow and provide products for a variety of needs such when the company drove to collect extra scrap metals to help feed the manufacturing effort throughout WWI and WWII, the transition from the wartime economies to convert materials for civilian uses. All the while retaining as part of its core values a spirit of giving and support local charities.

After 3 generations of Nott’s running the company, in 1991 the original Frank H Nott company was sold to an outside corporation. Most of the family and staff remained with company for several years to help in the transition to the new management team.

In 1999 David Nott established Nott Recycling, Inc at its current location, 5317 Old Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, starting as a small retail location and once again growing.
