Who We Are

Dutchak Recycle and Scrap Metal is a locally owned and operated family business. For 18 years, we’ve operated as a scrap metal recycling and processing facility, servicing Thunder Bay and its surrounding area. William Dutchak started the business in a 500 square foot building, as a hobby after retirement. Since then, thanks to the support of loyal customers and businesses and the commitment and hard work of our employees, we’ve grown to 5 acres. We'll continue to grow, with the support of our Provincial Government, who believes in our growth and future potential. Dutchak Scrap Metal has been able to purchase a lugger truck, lugger containers, a truck scale, roll-off truck, grapple truck, an excavator with grapple/magnet, an excavator with shear, and baler/logger, thanks to the funding ($172,500) we received from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation through its Enterprise North Job Creation Program. Our Staff has grown to 20 employees and will continue to increase with our future growth. We are currently looking for a manager. We are proud to say that we have recycled over 14 million pounds of scrap metal last year.
