Recycling Our Future
Our Journey: Key Milestones in Recycling
Founded on the belief in a sustainable future, our company started as a small scrap collection service. Over the years, we have grown into a full-fledged scrap metal processing yard, serving our community with dedication. Our journey includes adopting eco-friendly practices, expanding our service range, and steadily increasing our recycling capacity.
From humble beginnings, we’ve committed ourselves to educating the community about recycling’s importance, ensuring that waste is minimized and resources are recovered. This dedication to environmental stewardship is at the heart of our operations.
1963 - Company Established
Our recycling journey began as Short's Scrap Iron and Metal, a local service established in 1963, aimed at making a difference in scrap management and resource recovery. Founded by father and son, Charles Short and Russell Short, Russell's passion focused on metals, including gold and the gold mining industry; he owned several gold mining claims.
2000 - Rebranded and Expanded Services
In 2000, William (Ray) took over the family business as the second eldest son and the third generation. In response to community needs, we expanded our services, adding more collection points and processing capabilities.
2025 - 4th Generation and New Practices
In 2025, the next generation stepped in: Chris and Sara Peet. As we continue to grow, we have embraced eco-friendly practices, ensuring our operations contribute positively to the environment while promoting recycling awareness.
