OUR FAMILY

Since its humble beginnings, AIM has grown into one of the most innovative recycling companies in the world.

Our operations include the buying, processing, and selling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as household recyclables. Additionally, with our fleet of trucks, trailers, and private rail cars we’ve mastered the ability to always take care of our customers. This commitment to excellence has pushed the company’s continued global expansion.
