Elgin Recycling has been in business for over 30 years. What began as a small, non-ferrous recycling center, has expanded to a multi-facility operation, processing all metals & materials including ferrous metals, exotic alloys, paper, electronics and plastic. Using Niton analysis, we can quickly and accurately determine the alloy of your metal. We also provide brokering services, asset management, deinstallation, light demolition and warehousing.

We have grown from our original recycling center, to four full service scrap metal facilities in Elgin, Palatine, Crystal Lake and our new location in Gilberts.

We service all companies, large and small, including industrial, commercial, contractors, jobsites and residential accounts. We accept walk-in business at all of our locations.

Our goal is to provide our customers with supreme prices and fast, dependable service.
