Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility

Leading New Jersey in Sustainable Metal Recycling for Over 75 Years

At Klein Recycling, sustainability is at the center of everything we do. For more than seven decades, our family-owned company has helped New Jersey businesses, contractors, homeowners, and demolition teams recycle metals safely, efficiently, and responsibly. Our mission is simple: to make recycling easier, cleaner, and better for the environment while delivering dependable service and fair value.

 

Metal is one of the most recyclable materials on earth. Unlike plastics or fibers, it can be repurposed indefinitely without losing strength or quality. By choosing to recycle instead of discard, our customers help conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support a circular economy where materials are reused instead of wasted. Every load of metal brought to our facility contributes to a more sustainable New Jersey.

Our Sustainable Recycling Practices

We use modern, efficient systems to recover the maximum amount of material from every load:

Why Metal Recycling Matters for the Environment

Recycling metal dramatically reduces the environmental footprint of manufacturing and construction. It requires far less energy to recycle metal than to produce it from raw ore, and it minimizes the need for mining, refining, and transporting virgin materials. These benefits include:

  • Lower carbon emissions and energy use
  • Significant conservation of natural resources
  • Reduced landfill waste and pollution risks
  • Cleaner, more sustainable construction and demolition practices

By recycling thousands of tons of metal every year, Klein Recycling plays a vital role in protecting New Jersey’s environment and supporting greener industrial operations.

Since 1947, Klein Recycling has been committed to protecting the environment while serving the needs of New Jersey’s residents and businesses.
