Our team works directly with manufacturers, fabricators, contractors, and facility managers who need reliable service, clear pricing, and fast payment. We focus on long-term partnerships, not one-time transactions.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
Metal recycling plays a critical role in reducing waste, conserving resources, and lowering energy consumption. Every ton of metal recycled helps reduce landfill use and supports domestic manufacturing.
At Greenway, 100% of the metal we process is recycled and reused. We take environmental responsibility seriously — not as a slogan, but as part of how we operate every day.
