Cedillo Recycling
6640 W. Buckeye Rd, Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. Collecting used bottles, cans, and newspapers and taking them to the curb or to a collection facility is just the first in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns. Some of these benefits accrue locally as well as globally.At Cedillo Recycling, recyclables are sorted and prepared into marketable commodities for manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like any other commodity, and prices for the materials change and fluctuate with the market.

In 1997, the husband and wife team of Felix and Primi opened the doors of Cedillo Recycling LLC. It began, and remains today, a family owned and operated business. Our friendly staff has over 50 years of experience in the recycling industry. Our goal is to provide the residents and businesses of the West Valley, with a reliable and honest place to recycle ferrous as well as non-ferrous materials.

Benefits of recycling:

• RECYCLING PROTECTS AND EXPANDS US MANUFACTURING JOBS AND INCREASES US COMPETITIVENESS.
• RECYCLING REDUCES THE NEED FOR LANDFILLING AND INCINERATION.
• RECYCLING PREVENTS POLLUTION CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURING OF PRODUCTS FROM VIRGIN MATERIALS.
• RECYCLING CONSERVES NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS TIMBER, WATER, AND MINERALS.

Main Recyclables: 

• Aluminum is a sustainable metal and can be recycled over and over again. A can is generally turned into a new can and back on store shelves within 60 days. Cedillo Recycling recycles thousands of cans every day!
• According to the Beverage Marketing Corp, the average American consumed 1.6 gallons of bottled water in 1976. In 2006, that number jumped to 28.3 gallons. More than 2.4 billion pounds of plastic bottles were recycled in 2008. Although the amount of plastic bottles recycled in the U.S. has grown every year since 1990, the actual recycling rate remains steady at around 27 percent.
• Copper is a mineral that is found in the Earth’s crust. It is a ductile metal that has high thermal and electrical conduction properties. Pure copper is soft and malleable and a newly exposed surface has as somewhat pink or peachy color.Recycled copper is worth up to 90 percent of the cost of the original copper. It is also cheaper to recycle copper than it is to mine and extract new copper. Recycling helps keep the cost of copper products down.
• Today almost 90% of all brass alloys are recycled. Because brass is not ferromagnetic, it can be separated from ferrous scrap by passing the scrap near a powerful magnet. Brass scrap is collected and transported to the foundry where it is melted and recast into billits. Billets are heated and extruded into the desired form and size.

Why Recycle?

• Saves Natural Resources - By making products from recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we conserve land and reduce the need to drill for oil and dig for minerals.

• Saves Energy - It usually takes less energy to make recycled products; recycled aluminum, for example, takes 95% less energy than new aluminum from bauxite ore.

• Saves Clean Air and Water - In most cases, making products from recycled materials creates less air pollution and water pollution than making products from virgin materials.

• Saves Landfill Space - When the materials that you recycle go into new products, they don't go into landfills or incinerators, so landfill space is conserved.

• Saves Money and Creates Jobs - The recycling process creates far more jobs than landfills or incinerators, and recycling can frequently be the least expensive waste management method for cities and towns.

Go Green!

Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using all or part of it to make another product. The internationally recognized symbol for recycling includes three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a different part of the recycling process, from collection to re-manufacture to resale.
But what does all this have to do with you? Well, recycling is a simple way that you, as a consumer, can help out the environment, create a profitable market for recycled goods and help preserve natural resources from being depleted. So… let’s get involved!
