Youngstown Iron & Metal and Atlas Recycling make corporate community responsibility our priorityIn the mid-1970s recycling was beginning to make a difference in America. Appliances and automobiles were a blight on the landscape and dramatic changes were taking place in the steel industry. With the introduction of the electric arc furnace, mills were able to recycle significantly larger volumes of scrap. At this time, our founder Harold "Bud" Wilhelm recognized an opportunity to profit from the abundance of feed-stock and growing market demand while helping the environment; and as a result, Atlas Auto Crushers was born. Bud knew then that a flawless reputation for fairness, honesty, and payment, are the recipe for Exponential growth. In the mid 1990s, management saw the industry dominated by the large processors and a diminishing market share. The management team decided to expand into another niche market. In a single year we doubled our volume of processed scrap, and doubled the number of jobs available to hardworking personnel in the Youngstown area. With the installation of a 3500 horsepower Newell automobile shredder, we successfully positioned ourselves as a dominant force in the scrap metal market.

Both YIM and ARI are ISO #9001:2000 registered firms. ISO #9001 is a quality operations standard published by the International Organization for Standardization. Both companies are also ISO #14000 Compliant, the Environmental Standard.
Plain and simply, we are in the recycling business. So why should a recycling industry do more harm to the environment than good? It shouldn't. There are countless environmental concerns in the Scrap Industry from Fluorocarbon emissions to Mercury pollution, and we do everything in our power to ensure that we exclude these and other controlled materials from entering any of our processes. That's why we've been working with the ISO #14001 Standard to help better the way we and our customers care for the environment. But that's not all, our own internal policies go above and beyond the ever-increasing guidelines of the Federal Government.
