Orlando Scrap Adds New Location

Orlando Scrap Metal Recycling has announced the purchase of American Allied Recycling, located in Haines City, Fla.

Steve Singer, president and owner of Orlando Scrap, says the addition of the Haines City location will help the company logistically handle scrap from its industrial base in the Kissimmee, St. Cloud area as well as in Tampa. Haines City is located about 35 miles from Orlando and is closer to the Tampa Bay metropolitan area.

Operating the additional facility “will also increase the company’s buying of nonferrous metals from 8 million to over 14 million pounds a year,” according to Singer. Approximately 10 new people are expected to join the company to help with its business growth, he adds.

Orlando Scrap Metal Recycling offers industrial pickups for ferrous and nonferrous customers. Nonferrous metals of all types are accepted at both locations and are the focus of the company’s operations.

Singer says the company will strip cable at both locations as well as bale and shear scrap metals. He says the construction market in Orlando is “just booming,” with scrap generated by homebuilders, electrical contractors and installers of screened pool enclosures.

Steve Singer has nearly 30 years of experience in the scrap metal recycling industry.  He has worked for over 20 years in Toledo, Ohio, and also spent five years helping to run two divisions of ISA Inc., based in Louisville, Ky.
