From One Generation to the Next

Jim Pope, Owner, succeeded his father, the late William Pope, who purchased the business from the family of the original owner, the late Maurice Bartley.  Bartley had opened the company in 1960.  In 2001, when LaVilla was revitalized, the company relocated from the original 102 Stuart Street location to its current location.

Recyclables were called “scrap” when Jim was a child watching his father work. Intrigued, he became committed to scrap from that point on: “Once you get scrap in your blood,” he says, “it stays with you.” 

Jim has seen the company evolve over four decades to today’s modern, efficient business featuring a 14 acre facility and 200,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space. Wherever he sees scrap, be it China, Canada, Mexico or anywhere in the world, Jim thinks about how to recycle it. That explains why Main Metal Recycling has been importing and exporting scrap metal for so many years.

Main Metal Recycling has been a trusted name in the Jacksonville recycling industry for over 60 years.  It has always been our commitment to conduct environmentally safe methods of recovering materials that would otherwise have been landfilled. 

Electronics play a big part in all of our lives. From our home computers to our cell phones, we all have some dependency on electronics.  Approximately 27 million cell phones and 83 million personal computers are purchased by individuals just like us each year.  So, what should you do with the old equipment? The most environmentally friendly thing to do is recycle it.
