According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc., during 2008 2 out of 3 pounds of steel made in the United States was manufactured using ferrous scrap.   Recycling ferrous scrap, a vital raw material for both the production of new steel and cast-iron products, is fundamental to preserving the environment by conserving raw materials, reducing energy consumption and limiting landfill space. 

 

Liberty produces high-quality ferrous scrap for its steelmaking and foundry customers.  Consumer scrap items, such as old automobiles and appliances, and industrial scrap are received, tested, sorted and processed at Liberty’s various facilities to be returned to the new metal manufacturing process. Every Liberty facility is equipped with radiation detectors and experienced employees to ensure specific product quality. The combination of knowledgeable employees, state-of-the-art processing equipment and the unparalleled desire to meet specific customer needs is what has led to a growing list of long-standing satisfied customers.
