ABOUT US
Patriot Metals was built on hard work, integrity, and a deep understanding of the true value of metal.
That foundation started with my grandfather, who taught me the fundamentals of scrap recovery and how to recognize opportunity where others see waste. What began in the scrap yard grew into a company designed to serve today’s most demanding construction and infrastructure projects with speed, precision, and accountability.
Today, Patriot Metals partners with contractors, developers, and project managers across the United States to deliver efficient, on-site metal recycling and scrap recovery solutions. We specialize in supporting electrical transmission, substations, solar, wind, and large-scale data center construction - industries where timing, safety, and execution are critical. We help keep job sites clean, organized, and free from unsightly materials through rapid response and reliable removal services that keep projects moving forward.
Safety is non-negotiable
Patriot Metals has recovered and recycled more than 8 million pounds of material without a single accident or injury. That record reflects strict field discipline, clear communication, and a team that understands how to operate professionally on active job sites.

We don’t just haul material - we help maximize its value
By streamlining recovery and ensuring materials are handled correctly from the start, we turn what is often treated as waste into a measurable financial return for our partners.
We know construction schedules don’t wait. Our approach is built on responsiveness, reliability, and real-world field experience. Whether it’s a fast-paced data center build in Texas or a large transmission project, we show up ready to perform, adapt, and deliver results.
Patriot Metals is more than a recycling company - we are a dependable partner focused on helping our clients reduce risk, improve site efficiency, and capture the full value of their materials. As infrastructure and data center development continue to expand, we are positioned to support that growth with proven performance and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
