Allied Salvage Metals

Allied Salvage and Metals is one of the leading scrap metal recycling yards in the Richmond, Squamish and greater Vancouver, BC area. We are a family owned and operated business that was originally established in 1952 and we have continued to flourish as a leader in our field. Scrap metal recycling is an important part of today’s environment and economy, and we aim to ensure that our family values are incorporated into our business practices while maintaining our commitment to environmental sustainability.

We now own and operate an impressive list of equipment at both of our Lower Mainland locations that has allowed us to diversify our base of services, streamline our operations, and recycle all metals (excluding vehicles). Having trucks, cranes, shears, balers and excavators allows us to accommodate the needs of all our local customers as well as expand on a global level.

In 1952, the original recycling company operated out of a small property at 315 Powell Street, where Isador Weinstein and occasionally one or two additional employees would peddle for materials and recycle them. After Isador’s passing in 1972, his son George took over operations and oversaw a move to 43 East 1st Street under the title False Creek Resources. In 1985, with the help of George’s son Arthur, the business became known as Allied Salvage and Metals. The business remained at this location until Expo ’86 acquired the property.

At this time, the business moved to Richmond, eventually landing on Mitchell Island in the early 1990’s, where we remain today. Once settled, Arthur purchased more trucks enabling Allied to expand its recycling mandate. In 2003, the company purchased it’s neighbouring property, over doubling its acreage. Adding in the next generation, Ian joined Arthur in 2003 and helped take the company to new levels. We now own and operate a variety of equipment, enabling us to continue expansion on all fronts. We now recycle all metals (excluding cars), and our client base is global. As much as we have expanded, we continue to maintain our high standards and incorporate our important family values into every aspect of our operations.

A FAMILY TRADITION

Allied Salvage is, and has always been, a family business. The company was initiated by Arthur Weinstein’s grandfather, Isador Weinstein, in 1952. Isador’s son, George Weinstein, joined the company shortly after its inception. Arthur Weinstein, the current director and grandson of Isador, first became involved with the company in 1965 during his teenage years. Arthur Weinstein’s son, Ian, has now been employed by Allied Salvage since 2003. The company’s history spans more than 50 years and four generations. In addition to being family owned and operated, Allied Salvage was founded upon, and has developed around, family-oriented values.

Metal Recycling Process

Environmental consciousness has always been at the heart of what we do. From the very first days of the company, founder Arthur Weinstein was committed to utilizing what already exists by “mining the surface of the world” and recycling these materials to prolong their use, reducing needless waste and the need for further conventional mining. We’ve continued this tradition of conservation over four generations, all-the-while continuing to improve our processes to ensure maximum efficiency.
