Specialties
We are committed to helping you set up a scrap metal recycling plan that works for your commercial business or farm.
We offer free container service - meaning no monthly rental charge, and no charge for delivery and pick-up. We can provide on-going service or even a one-time clean-up, whatever works best for you!
Our containers have an open top and swing door on one end, making it easy to fill bulk metal scrap or metal form demolition. We have available different size containers to meet your need and to fit at your location. We offer 10-20-30-40-yard containers. We also have smaller dump hoppers that can be easily moved with a forklift - 1-yard and 2 1/2-yard sizes.
After we pick up your container, it's weighed on our 70 ft. truck scale. It has a digital display for quick and easy recording.

We can help unload, weigh, and guide you so that you can get the most $ for your scrap metal. We will answer your questions about the different types of metal and the services we provide.
We recycle all different types of metal - iron, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, insulated wire, electric motors, and vehicle batteries - keeping as many materials out of the landfills as we can.
Meet the Business Owner: John S.
Atglen Recycling is the result of a lifetime of experience in the metal recycling industry. John Speers, owner, grew up in the metal recycling business. His family was in the metal recycling business in Chester and Lancaster counties for more than 20 years, and he spent most of his teen years working alongside his parents. He learned everything from the ground up, becoming familiar with metal as well as trucking and even equipment repairs.
In 2012, John found a property on Zion Hill Rd in Atglen and liked the easy access to Route 41. Shortly after, with the support of his family, he opened Atglen Recycling, and John's dream became a reality.
