Specialties

Tosha LLC specializes in recycling catalytic converters. We also gladly accept most other types of metals including steel, brass, copper, lead, aluminum, stainless steel, and we now accept computers! In 2013 Tosha LLC began accepting E-Scrap for recycling. E-Scrap includes finger cards, server boards, telecom boards, processors (CPU), computer memory (RAM), hard drives, CD-ROM/floppy drives, power supplies, UPS battery backups, PC towers, computer wire and old cell phones. All of the material purchased by Tosha LLC is crushed and baled on site, then shipped to other companies to be made into usable recycled items.

History

Established in 1999.

Tosha stands for Tony Ramirez and his wife Sharon. "It's always been Tony's dream to own his own business. We actually chose the name four years prior to the business ever opening or even knowing what kind of business it would be," explained Sharon Ramirez. When they first started Tosha LLC, in 1999, the Ramirezes were working out of their house and a small storage unit. At the time, they only recycled catalytic converters. Since it's required by law that your catalytic converter is always up to par, this proved to be rather lucrative for the company. As more people learned about Tosha, the Ramirezes began to notice a demand for the recycling of all types of metals, so in 2003, Tosha opened up a larger, more public location at 1745 Orangeburg Road, and began accepting all metals. "People are always pleasantly surprised to find out that they can recycle their old washing machine, and actually even get a little bit of money for it," says Sharon Ramirez.

Owners Tony and Sharon Ramirez are very excited about what they do, and enjoy the perks of owning their own company, like being able to take time off to accompany their church, Cokesbury United Methodist, on yearly mission trips to Costa Rica.
