Testimonials

ABC provides our site with scrap steel recycling, as well as steel grinding media sorting. They remove wood waste from site and deliver rubber waste to a holding location on site. As a mine, we generate a lot of waste wood, rubber and steel. The benefit to the mine is that we can use the revenue generated with the scrap steel to offset the costs around the other waste streams by having them provide these services. We’ve been collaborating with ABC since the spring of 2023, and they’ve consistently impressed us with their quick response, especially for larger jobs like Old Mining Shovel removal. Overall, ABC has been a reliable and dependable vendor for Gibraltar.

Cory Holland, Superintendent, Supply Chain Gibraltar Mines Ltd.

ABC is a one-stop shop recycler for all metals, keeping prices as high as they can for us within what market rates allow. ABC’s Prince George location offers us more than just metal recycling; they allow us use of their scale and that helps us with our other logistics. We have been working with the team since 2021. What sets ABC apart is their dedication to maintaining customer loyalty through effective communication and prompt issue resolution. We will continue support ABC as they grow in the region as they have proven to be a confident leader for our demands within the metal recycling industry.

Aaron Angell, Branch Manager Environmental 360 Solutions Ltd.

We’ve been collaborating with ABC for 3 to 4 years now, and the ABC team treats us very well. ABC understands the importance of building and holding a relationship. One memorable experience was when ABC held our scrap price even though the market dipped, demonstrating their commitment to supporting our business objectives. Overall, our experience with ABC has been very satisfying.

I have been dealing with ABC Recycling in Surrey for over 10 years and I have only good things to say. They treat me fairly, respectfully and always make me feel welcome. The staff at ABC are like an extended family and I look forward to many more years of doing business together.

Rob Lomas, Owner We Do Recover

As an owner of a small business for over 20 years, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate ABC Recycling in the Surrey/Langley location. I always get quick, professional service in the purchase of my metals for recycling. Although prices fluctuate with metal commodity markets, I always get a fair price for my metal products. I recommend ABC Recycling Surrey as a good place to do business. Integrity, honesty and good customer service are rare to find these days and ABC will look after all of your metal recycling needs.

Reggie Neufeld, Owner RNWP Custom Cut

ABC assists in getting the most money for our scrap metals. The Abbotsford yard is nice and close to our operation, and it allows us to smoothly transition material off-site. We have been working with ABC since late January 2024. The customer service that the staff at ABC provides goes over and beyond what we ever expected in a metal recycler – competitive pricing and the customer service is great!

Joseph Aylott, Plant Supervisor Blue Planet Recycling

I have been working with ABC Recycling since 2019, specifically utilizing their steel service for scrapping old railcars on site that have aged out and are deemed unsafe to leave the terminal. They are also diligent in responding when emergency services are required. I can always rely on the ABC team to communicate effectively and provide fast, reliable service that meets our needs. The ABC team consistently delivers a high standard of service, making them a reliable and trusted partner for all of our needs.
