This is a service we run, not a sideline

We Tear It Down And Take It Away

United Recycling does demolition — the big stuff. Power plants, chemical plants, refineries, steel and paper mills, hospitals, universities, stadiums, airports, malls, office towers, apartment complexes and the distribution centers behind them. Not container drops and scrap pickups. Actual teardowns.

Because we are the metal buyer and the demolition crew, the scrap value comes straight off your project cost instead of disappearing into a middleman's invoice. That is the whole advantage, and it is a big one on a job with real tonnage in it.

Commercial and industrial only. No single-family houses or garages. This crew is set up for power plants, chemical plants, mills, campuses, malls, apartment complexes and anything else with real tonnage in it.

What he goes after

The Big Ones

These are the jobs United Recycling is built for — heavy structures with serious tonnage and serious alloy content in them.

◆

Chemical Plants

The work this yard is built around. Process piping, reactors, tank farms, structural steel and every pound of alloy in them.

◆

Power Generation

Nuclear, coal-fired, gas-fired and hydro — turbine halls, boiler houses, switchyards and the copper that runs through them.

◆

Refineries & Mills

Petrochemical plants, steel mills, paper mills and automotive manufacturing complexes.

◆

Big Public Structures

Malls, stadiums, airports, hospitals, campuses and correctional complexes.

Demolition performed by
UR United Recycling Demolition Metals LLC

A demolition division of United Recycling Scrap Metals LLC

The demolition division of the yard on Hurricane Shoals Road. Same crew, same scale, same check — pointed at buildings instead of pickup beds.

One Crew, One Number, One Check

The container, the labor, the haul-off and the payment for the metal — all of it through United Recycling. No coordinating three vendors and hoping the scrap value survives.

◆

Dumpsters & Roll-Offs

Containers staged for job sites, plants and cleanouts. Fill it with metal and the container works for you instead of against you.

◆

Selective Demolition

Interior strip-outs and single-line removals where the rest of the building keeps operating around us.

◆

Plant Cleanouts

Decommissioned lines, retired equipment and years of accumulated surplus — cleared out and turned into a check.
