Atlas Metal & Iron Corp.

Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation is committed to responsible and environmentally safe operating procedures and practices, complying with all applicable local, state, and federal environmental laws and regulations. The family-owned and operated business got its start in the mid-1950s when Don Rosen started a small metal recycling business in Denver. Mr. Rosen sensed the need in post-WWII Denver for scrapping on a greater level. The city was busting at the seams with urban reconstruction and new construction spreading into the suburbs. He partnered with his dad and two other in-laws to purchase one-acre lot at 3rd St. and Walnut St. to open their own metal recycling plant. The essential recycling service has evolved over six decades into a sophisticated commodities market. Scrap isn’t waste; recycling isn’t disposable. “Our recycling methods put the metals back into the economic stream,” adds Rosen. Scrap metal recycling is a $29.9B business in the US market. Prices fluctuate daily with the market, so Atlas welcomes customers to call in advance for pricing.
