RECYCLING SERVICES

At Mervis, our greatest success stories have grown out of the engagements with our large industrial partners and their one-of-a-kind needs. There is no challenge more motivating to our professional team than to scope out a complex situation and then respond with customized recycling programs for plastics, metals, electronics, fiber, and used machinery and equipment. In meeting the specific requests of our industrial partners, we have often built new facilities, expanded into new regions, and innovated new processes to better serve our customers.
