Services

At J.F.R. Salvage, Inc. we purchase all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal.  We also purchase E-Scap. Price depends on the type of metal being recycled and is paid per weight of the material.  Once the metal is purchased we then go through a series of stages to sort, process, and sell the material.  The material is then shipped to various companies throughout the northeast where it is ultimately melted and used for production of new material.
