    Commitment to Community

    As a professional and concerned business, we are proud recyclers for a greener earth. It is also our foremost priority to protect the local community and statewide utility services from an influx of theft and destruction that has occurred over the past several years. 

    Not only do we inspect and confirm ownership of material as it is brought in, but we also require proper documentation so as to prove this. Below is a section of the City of Detroit code and State of Michigan Law that we adhere to in all respects:

    “It is a criminal offense to purchase or receive any article or material:

    • From any person under the age of eighteen (18) years
    • From any person without identification or a license
    • That is the property of the government, a business or a cemetery and the person does not have a written receipts or other documentation which indicates where said person obtained the article or material
    • That is the subject of a theft-alert report from any law enforcement agency or a member of the public

    Michigan Public Act 99

    Requirements state that any material that any restricted material exceeds a $25 threshold either for one ticket, or for one full business day, is subject to a mailed payment in the form of a check or voucher, which can be redeemed on these premises.

    Restricted materials include:

    • All copper, including wire, sheets, pipes, and fittings
    • Catalytic Converters
      • Note: when buying from the public, we require either a copy of the title or registration from the vehicle it came off of, and the person listed on the paperwork must be the seller, unless explicit authorization is given to have someone sell on their behalf.
    • Air conditioning components, including:
      • Coils
      • Condensers
      • Compressors
      • Shells
