Gershow Recycling operates the most modern, technically advanced metal processing recycling facilities in the United States.

MISSION

Conserving the Future by Recycling the Past.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Founded in 1964 by Sam Gershowitz, Gershow Recycling began as a two-man operation with a tractor and trailer, a boom truck and the first portable car flattener. Today, it is one of Long Island's oldest and most successful environmental companies whose mission is: Conserving the Future by Recycling the Past. Gershow recognized early on that Long Island had a growing solid waste problem and they could do something about it. As a result, they went to the region's landfills to literally mine thousands of tons of cars that had been entombed there because they felt they could be recycled.

DESCRIPTION

Gershow Recycling buys scrap metal such as junk cars, trucks and buses, scrap iron, aluminum, copper, brass, tin cans, copper bearing scrap, electric motors, fuel storage tanks, appliances, corrugated cardboard, waste paper and all other metal products. Their modern equipment and their ability to meet new recycling industry needs reflects the commitment they have made toward providing the finest service possible to their customers.

Gershow Recycling has facilities in Brooklyn, Valley Stream, Freeport, New Hyde Park, Huntington, Lindenhurst, Bay Shore and Medford.

In recent years, the company has been featured several times on Fox News, Fox Business News and the Science Channel. In 2010, Gershow was regularly shown on Spike Television’s Scrappers program. In 2011, the company was the subject of an hour-long National Geographic program called Break it Down.
