We have the heavy duty equipment to shred large items such as automobiles, appliances, loose sheet iron or tin, and thin gauge steel materials. Our shredder is the Texas Shredder (74-104) 3500 HP and it can handle whatever we throw at it. Visit General Recycling and let us shred your big metal items.

Shearing material ¼” thick and above such as steel I beams, channel, angles, and plate is no problem when you have the appropriate equipment and we have the equipment that is needed to make easy work of these items. We run the Harris 1k ton shearer when we need to break down thick steel. Look to General Recycling to accept your steel scrap.

General Recycling offers baling using our Harris FE Baler for the job. Baling steel busheling, wire, and long stringy materials is handled with ease. Busheling is clean steel scrap and consists of clean wrought iron and soft steel pipes or other wire, or long stringy materials made from a variety of materials including steel, iron, and aluminum. We enact the Harris FE Baler to tackle this bundling process.

For 1" thick or over materials, yes, the really big oversized steel items like heavy  equipment  scrap, we are applying FE torching to split apart and disassemble the giant pieces. This includes heavy torch steel, this steel cannot be cut by any other means except torch. General Recycling has FE torching in place and can handle the big items efficiently.
