In 2005, ABC entered into a partnership with Bold Salvage in Terrace. Gus and Michelle Nehring started Bold Salvage in the back yard of a local business, eventually opening a yard on Old Lakese Lake Road in 1996. In 2005, they moved to the present location on Queensway Drive allowing them to expand their business. ABC and Bold Salvage shared the same core family values, local community involvement, and a willingness to expand. In 2007, ABC entered into a partnership in Kelowna with Action Metals, founded by Lane Ketler in 1990. Lane learned the metal recycling business from his father, who co-owned a metal recycling business in Lethbridge, Alberta. Bold Salvage and Action Metals both adopted the ABC Recycling brand in 2012 to coincide with our 100 year anniversary.
