New Jersey Salvage Company Adds Scrap Location

Universal Wrecking Corp., Toms River, N.J., has begun to operate a scrap yard at the former Cosmos Green Acres scrap yard in Bayville, N.J. The scrap yard will operate as a subsidiary of Universal Wrecking under the name Universal Recycling & Scrap Iron Corp. (URSI).

In a news release, Universal says it “plans to transform the 16-acre site into a state-of-the-art scrap recycling facility that accepts nonferrous and ferrous scrap metals as well as scrap autos, trucks, trailers and heavy equipment.”

URSI says it has installed two 70-foot, 100-ton truck scales and two smaller platform scales to serve its customers. Processing machinery on the site includes material handlers, shears, grapples, skid steers, loaders and forklifts plus “various hoppers, containers and support equipment.”

In addition to the recycling yard, URSI also owns and operates a fleet of roll-off trucks, containers, tractors, dump trailers, flatbeds, rollbacks and box trucks. The company says it intends to serve accounts in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New York.

“URSI strictly operates on three key principles: price, service and integrity,” says company owner Steve Vesseli.
