Metalico, Inc. operates both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal recycling facilities in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and in New York. Their metal scraps are coming from small scrap dealers, peddlers, demolition contractors and manufacturers. It serves both the United States and Canada and focuses on four types of commodity metal groups: scrap steel and iron, non-ferrous metals (nickel-based steel, alloys, lead, aluminum and copper), minor metals (tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum) and platinum group of metals (catalytic converters and recover platinum, rhodium and palladium).
