New Scrap Commercial

Posted: September 24, 2014 in Uncategorized

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen ourselves on camera…so we figured it was time for us to shoot a new commercial. We know you all still adore our ‘Farewell Old Friend” commercial spot we ran last year, but this time we’re highlighting our scrap business as a whole and not just focusing on our car scrapping. The new commercial will be airing very soon, but in the mean time here are some photos from the shoot!

More Scrap Thieves

Posted: September 12, 2014 in Uncategorized

We’ve written several blogs about the unfortunate act of stealing scrap metal in order to make a profit at local (and even non-local) scrap yards.  It appears as though the two men in the article have reached an all time low (or high) when trying their best to steal copper from a church in Delaware.  …Yes, you read that correctly: These two men were stealing scrap from a CHURCH!

Thankfully, the Lord does have a tendency to work in mysterious ways (that) and the two burglars appeared to lack anything higher than a Kindergarten education. The culprits were arrested shortly after the police officers found them hiding in the church’s air ducts.

Don’t believe us?  Check out the article here: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/09/10/police-found-something-entirely-unexpected-inside-churchs-hvac-ducts/

Long article short, we can’t stress enough the importance of bringing in honest scrap. We take our jobs at Upstate Metal Recycling very seriously and are fully aware of the amount of stolen scrap that floats around the Fort Wayne and other surrounding areas.
