Stainless Steel Recycling in Mentor, OH
Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Heisley Road and Tyler Boulevard industrial parks and about thirty minutes east on Route 2 and I-90.
Stainless
What does stainless steel recycling in Mentor 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.
Mentor's industrial parks are heavy on plastics tooling, precision machining and electronics assembly, which produces smaller-volume but higher-grade copper, aluminium and nickel alloy lots that reward proper segregation. 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 Mentor 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 Mentor 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 Mentor ships straight to stainless melt shops and specialty steel mills, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on stainless.
