Alter Moves its Lincoln, Neb., Scrap Yard

St. Louis-based Alter Trading Corp. has purchased a parcel of land that formerly housed the operations of Recycling Enterprises in Lincoln, Neb. According to an Alter news release, Recycling Enterprises will be relocating to another site in Lincoln and Alter will operate a scrap yard on the property.

The release indicates that in the next several months Alter will prepare the new site so it can relocate from its current Lincoln location. That parcel of land has been acquired by the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency as a part of the new arena project being constructed by the agency.

“We are pleased to have found a new location with excellent access for our customers and room for future growth,” says Jay Robinovitz, Alter’s senior vice president and chief officer of operations. “We truly appreciate the cooperation, assistance and patience that Dan Marvin, Miki Esposito and the many other representatives of the city of Lincoln and the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency have shown to our company in making this relocation effort successful. The arena project is very exciting and will be a significant and positive addition to the city of Lincoln.”

Steve Mulinix, facility manager for Alter’s Lincoln location and a 28-year veteran of the recycling industry in the greater Lincoln area, commments, “I look forward to opening the new site and setting the stage for many more years of serving our customers and the Lincoln community.”

Alter has conducted operations in Lincoln since 2000 and presently employs 24 people at its facility.

Founded in 1898, Alter Trading Corp. is a privately owned, fourth-generation company that operates 38 metal recycling facilities and five trading offices in eight states, as well as a representative sales office in Hong Kong.
