List of Publicly Traded Scrap Metal Companies Listed on Major U.S. Exchanges

While the term scrap might imply a small operation, this is not necessarily the case. For example Commercial Metals Company processes ferrous and non-ferrous scrap at their metal recycling facilities at nearly 60 locations. For many companies, like Commercial Metals, Gerdau and Nucor, scrap steel recycling is an extension of their normal business operations as these types of companies are involved in producing steel or making steel and metal products.

For those curious, Metalico, Inc. was previously on this list of companies but was acquired by Total Merchant Limited and was subsequently delisted on September 11, 2015.
