Cleveland, Ohio — Cuyahoga County

Foundry Residue Recycling in Cleveland, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Collinwood rail corridor and the East 152nd / St. Clair industrial belt and our scale sits on East 166th Street, so most Cleveland plants are a ten minute run from the dock.

Foundry Residues

What does foundry residue recycling in Cleveland involve?

V-V Metals recovers metal value from foundry and mill residues -- skimmings, dross, baghouse dust, sand fines, spatter, spills and processed floor material -- that most yards will not take at all.

Cleveland still carries a dense mix of foundries, forge shops, wire mills and contract machining under one postal code, which means a single plant often generates copper, aluminium, stainless and residue streams in the same week. That is the practical reason we grade tightly instead of buying by the container.

Residue streams are where foundries quietly lose the most recoverable metal, usually because the material is awkward to handle and easy to treat as waste. We sample for metallic yield and pay on what is actually in the pile.

What foundry residues do you buy in Cleveland?

We buy skimmings, dross, baghouse dust, sand fines, spatter, spills and floor sweeps generated across the Collinwood rail corridor and the East 152nd / St. Clair industrial belt, in quantities from a single drum up to steady roll-off volume.

  • Furnace and ladle skimmings
  • Dross from aluminum, copper and brass melting
  • Baghouse dust and collector fines
  • Sand fines and metal-bearing spent sand
  • Spatter, spills and pour-floor material
  • Floor sweeps and processed residue streams

How It Works

What you get on a Cleveland account

Residues are sampled and assayed for recoverable metallic content before a price is agreed. You see the yield result, so the settlement reflects recovered metal rather than gross container weight.

  • Metallic-yield sampling and assay on every residue stream
  • Suitable containers for dusty, fine and free-flowing material
  • Diversion of metal-bearing residue away from landfill disposal cost
  • Coordinated removal timed to furnace cleanouts and shutdowns
  • Direct shipment to smelters equipped to process residue material

Why sell foundry residues scrap to V-V Metals instead of a local Cleveland yard?

Unlike many scrap companies, V-V Metals does not sell purchased material to other scrap dealer houses. Everything we buy goes directly to mills, foundries or smelters, so there is one margin between your dock and the end user instead of two or three. Material from Cleveland ships straight to smelters equipped for residue and dross processing, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on foundry residues.
