All Metals Recycling

What All Metals Recycling does

All Metals Recycling LLC is a family-owned scrap metal recycler and auto salvage yard headquartered at 1802 S. Park St., Madison, Wisconsin. The Madison facility has been in continuous operation since 1940 and was acquired by the current family ownership in 2010. The company purchases ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, junk and abandoned vehicles, and appliances from residential, commercial, and industrial customers in South Central Wisconsin, then processes and resells those materials to downstream buyers. Service coverage extends across Dane County and seven adjacent counties (Columbia, Dodge, Green, Iowa, Jefferson, Rock, and Sauk), with affiliated sister facilities in Wisconsin (First Capitol Salvage, Runde Metal Recycling, Runick Metal Recycling) and Iowa (Clayton County Recycling, CC Recycling) operating under common ownership.

The operating stack centers on a drive-on scale for weight-based pricing, cranes with grapples and magnets, forklifts, mobile auto-salvage equipment for onsite car crushing and baling, and "visual scrap software" that automates material classification, pricing, and historical reporting for commercial accounts. Dumpster and lugger container fleets (12 to 40 yard, plus lugger containers) plus licensed demolition capabilities for residential, commercial, and industrial properties - including hazardous material remediation - extend the offering beyond scrap intake.

The business model is fundamentally direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business, monetized through three transaction-based streams: a per-pound margin on scrap metal resale, per-vehicle payouts (up to ~$500) for junk cars including free towing in Dane County, and usage-based dumpster/lugger rental fees with optional $10 appliance disposal charges. Customer acquisition is local and largely analog - Madison Chamber of Commerce membership, Google and Facebook reviews, local SEO, and word-of-mouth - with phone-based scheduling for pickups and contracts for industrial/manufacturing accounts and auto repair shops.
