Company History :

Goldsboro Metal Recycling was founded as a Scrap Metal & Salvage Yard / Scrap Yard in 1922 by Joseph S. Brown who moved to Goldsboro, North Carolina from Dayton, Ohio. In those days, the work was hard because most of the steel, for instance, had to be moved by hand.

His son Seymour Brown, also known as "Junk Brown" began running the company in 1937. Under Seymour, the company became the Emerald of the Scrap Metal Recycling Business in North Carolina. He built the largest Scrap Metal Salvage Yard in North Carolina. Having also purchased the location now known as Raleigh Metal Recycling (Formerly K&L), the Goldsboro and Raleigh locations became leaders in Scrap Metal Recycling: Scrap Steel, Scrap Copper, Scrap Aluminum, Scrap Brass, etc. and even Aluminum Can recycling.

When he died in 1993, his wife, Lee Brown, assumed the company Presidency. Upon Lee's death, Seymour Brown's daughters, Jo and Wendy, took the helm in 2001.

In August, 2007, the company was acquired by Greg Brown, who began a transformation of the facilities as Scrap Metal Recycling became an ever more important part of the Global economy.

Today, both Recycling Yards in Raleigh and Goldsboro are thriving as they process and buy all types of Scrap Steel, Scrap copper, scrap aluminum at great prices. Safety is First as we continue to grow and improve on efficiency and most importantly, customer service.
