Wichita Material Recovery LLC was founded in 2010 to fill a community need for a recycling facility that is easily accessible to all regardless of whether you were recycling 5 pounds of aluminum to thousands of pounds of copper. Recycling companies are a great asset for the community as they prevent metal from filling the landfill! "You don't have to know the scrap metal industry, you only need to know us" is the attitude that our company was built upon. Since the beginning, Wichita Material Recovery has always kept a 'customer first' mindset and ensured that everyone who comes through the facility knows that they are being treated with respect and receiving an honest and fair transaction. Due to this positive mindset, what started as a small operation has quickly grown into a company that services hundreds of customers every day. The support from our customers and the community has made it possible for WMR to recycle thousands of tons of metal!
Today, Wichita Material Recovery is 100% family owned and operated by three generations and employs more than 8 great individuals. We take pride in knowing that we are open long hours to accommodate your work schedule, maintain a paved lot that provides a safe area for you and your tires, and hold every one of our employees to high standards to ensure that you have a great experience at our facility. Thank you for supporting local business and choosing to recycle!
