Our History

What was to become Don's Scrap Iron and Metal began as Hemingway Scrap Iron and Metal. Founder Dewey Brewer established the company by first separating the brass and steel from shell casings and recycling it to be reused as new ammunition. Brewer's dedication paid off and he eventually became one of the largest brass dealers on the East Coast.Dewey's son, Donnie Brewer, Sr. took over his father's business in 1973 and changed the name from Hemingway Scrap Iron and Metal to Don's Scrap Iron and Metal to reflect the company's family ownership as well as the business' expanding service area.Donnie Sr. believed that the future of the business would be bolstered by the acquisition of a large automobile shredder (at the time one of only 200 in the US and one of 5 in South Carolina). Since acquiring the shredder in the early 1970s, Don's Car Crushing has evolved into a multi-location business offering a variety of services including auto shredding, metal recycling, demolition, and container services.The business remains a family one and is currently managed by Donnie's son, Donnie Jr.

Crushing

At Don’s Car Crushing, we’ll pay you up to $800 for your junk car! Depending on the condition of your car, we’ll either place it in one of our pick and pull yards so customers can utilize any of the remaining parts. Once your car has been thoroughly salvaged, it will be crushed to provide valuable recycled scrap metal.Once a car has reached the end of its life (with all usable parts removed), it is crushed using a car crusher. The recycled steel that comes from car crushing saves energy and natural resources; recycling steel uses roughly 74% less energy than manufacturing new metal. By that count, the car recycling industry keeps 11 million tons of steel and 800,000 non-ferrous metals out of landfills each year.
