Newell Recycling, LLC is a large Georgia-based processor of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. In its fourth decade of operation, the company has grown to become the largest metals recycler in the Southeast. The company uses both certified scales and independent scales upon client request.

History

A one-time junkyard manager, Alton S. Newell learned to scrap cars by hand at a rate of 10 cars per hour. By the early 1960s, however, Newell developed an efficient metal processing machine known to the world today as the Newell Shredder.

Newell did not receive formal training as an engineer, but pioneered a machine with capabilities to process an automobile in AbOUT 10 minutes and used less energy than other shredding and crushing machines. The original model was powered by a motor, processing 30 to 40 cars a day. The invention was patented in 1969.

Newell Recycling of Atlanta was opened in 1976. Initially planned as a heavy media separation plant, the company broadened its scope to recycle ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The current operations include a shredder, a metal recovery plant, a non-ferrous warehouse, an iron yard, an aluminum can receiving center, and the Newell Transportation complex.
