Scrap Recyclers Partner on Baltimore Port Site

Joseph Smith & Sons Inc., Capitol Heights, Md., and European Metal Recycling Ltd. (EMR), based in the United Kingdom, have created a joint venture to market scrap that will be exported from the Port of Baltimore.

Joseph Smith & Sons will work along with a Delaware-based stevedoring firm to operate from a 27-acre location at the Port of Baltimore. Scrap metal and other commodities will be shipped into and out of the site, according to a spokesperson from the company.

One goal will be to offer an additional market for scrap recyclers based in the United States who wish to export from the East Coast.

Additionally, the stevedoring operation at the site will seek to work with exporters and importers of materials other than scrap.
