V-V Metals

Cleveland, Ohio — Cuyahoga County

Stainless Steel 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.

Stainless

What does stainless steel recycling in Cleveland involve?

V-V Metals recycles all common stainless grades -- 304, 316, 321, 347, 400-series and duplex -- taken as solids, plate drops, sheet clips, turnings, grindings and mill scale.

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.

Stainless is paid on chrome and nickel content, and a 316 drop tossed into a 304 box is money handed away. Our team analyses questionable pieces instead of defaulting the whole container to the cheapest grade present.

How It Works

What you get on a Cleveland account

Suspect material is analysed for chrome, nickel and molybdenum before settlement. Free-iron contamination and grinding-wheel residue are quantified rather than estimated, so the deduction on the ticket is one you can audit.

  • Grade analysis on mixed or unmarked stainless before a price is set
  • Chrome / nickel / moly assay results supplied with the settlement
  • Separate containers for 300-series, 400-series and duplex at the source
  • Free-iron and abrasive contamination quantified, not guessed
  • Direct delivery to stainless melt shops and specialty steel mills

Why sell stainless 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 stainless melt shops and specialty steel mills, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on stainless.
