At Tucson Iron and Metal, our innovative solutions, outstanding service, environmental commitment, and competitive prices are guaranteed to meet every metal-recycling need. That’s why doing business with Tucson Iron and Metal means doing business with the very best.

We not only buy and process a full range of ferrous and nonferrous metals like copper, brass, aluminum, and steel – we also purchase scrap metal throughout the southwestern United States, for consumers in both domestic and international markets.

There are two groups of metals; ferrous and non-ferrous. We buy both. Ferrous metals contain iron, for example carbon steel, stainless steel (both alloys; mixtures of metals) and wrought iron. Non-ferrous metals don’t contain iron, for example aluminum, brass, copper. The range of items that are made from metals are varied and extensive.

It was a humble way to begin: three employees, one truck, a forklift. That was 25 years ago. Now – 50 employees and a fleet of trucks and forklifts, and magnet cranes later – Tucson Iron and Metal flourishes as one of Tucson’s leading full-service metal-recycling companies.

Founded in 1986 by Tandy and Gary Kippur (a third-generation scrap-metal dealer), Tucson Iron and Metal boasts not only trucks, forklifts, and magnet cranes but shears mounted exclusively on Caterpillar® products as well. And, to boast just a little bit more, no office staff works harder or is friendlier, and with a combined total of 75 years in the scrap-metal business…well, the experience of our employees speaks for itself.
