Sturgis Iron & Metal is a full-service scrap metal recycling business dedicated to providing the best value and service in the world.

Sturgis Iron & Metal ranks among the largest and most successful scrap metal recycling companies in America. Founded in 1942 by Ralph Levin, today Sturgis Iron & Metal operates nine recycling facilities in three states: Michigan, Indiana and Georgia, and serves customers in 15 states.

Sturgis Iron & Metal’s expertise has been built through more than sixty years of hard work and experience the old-fashioned way: pound by pound and ton by ton. We buy and process ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals and other scrap materials from a wide range of sources: from giant industries and manufacturing facilities to small businesses and local homeowners. We recycle America’s scrap metals into reusable resources, saving energy, protecting our environment and conserving our natural resources.

Because we are one of the scrap metal recycling industry’s leaders, pioneers and innovators, Sturgis Iron & Metal has expanded to include transportation and logistics, brokerage and trading, and consulting.
