The practice of recycling has become an embedded part of our lives. After decades of using disposable products and overwhelming our landfills, oceans and atmosphere with waste, society has finally come to the realization that we are responsible for protecting our planet from harm to ensure future generations have a safe place to live.

Major manufacturing relies on metal recycling to continue operating and producing new products as raw material becomes less available. There are several essential steps that need to be followed when recycling metal. Many dangerous substances can be found in old appliances, including PCB fluid in capacitors, mercury-containing components and batteries. The handling of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) or hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants is vital to environmental safety. Proper evacuation and management of each of these refrigerant types is mandated by the government.

Unfortunately, some of these steps are being circumvented by recyclers who do not operate ethically. As the metal is processed, many harmful substances are released into our environment affecting our rivers, oceans and ozone layer.

Ethical Recycling is committed to providing a metal recycling service that protects our planet from harm. All government regulations are followed when handling and evacuating harmful substances. Through our diligent process we ensure only clean metal gets passed along for recycling.
