A new Van Wert company, Metals Recycling Technology LLC, announces its grand opening celebration featuring special incentives now through Friday, February 10. During its grand opening week, MRT is offering an extra $10 per ton for steel grades and an extra 5 cents per pound for copper and aluminum, plus free t-shirts to the first 100 visitors!

“Recycling for our future” is what Metals Recycling Technology is dedicated to.  The core of its business is purchasing all grades of scrap metal from the public, dealers and industrial customers.  MRT buys scrap metal, including appliances, copper, aluminum, brass, cast iron, metal siding, and electric motors.

Its three-tiered customer focus begins with the ability to buy metals from the retail public, provide superior pricing and a clean, safe environment for the community to sell obsolete material.  The second tier is purchasing metals directly from metal dealers, such as salvage and demolition companies.  MRT’s third tier is to partner with industrial plants producing a waste stream of metals from the manufacturing process.

“It’s as simple as, you bring us metal and we’ll pay you cash,” said Joe Pasion, vice president of operations for Metals Recycling Technology. “From the farmer who wants to sell obsolete equipment to the soccer parent who has a bag of aluminum cans and an old washing machine in the garage, we want to partner with the Van Wert community to recycle metals.

“As we continue to build relationships with industrial businesses, we are willing to invest in roll off boxes and on site handling equipment to provide service, and in turn provide a freight logical location maximizing scrap revenue for companies,” Pasion added.

Metals Recycling Technology’s staff brings a combined 30 years of industry knowledge to Van Wert.  MRT is located at 7680 U.S. 127, directly north of Towne Center, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 419.232.2034 for additional information.
