At Louis Padnos Iron & Metal Company we take great pride on offering a wide range of ferrous (containing iron) scrap products. Steel mills and foundries consume thousands of tons of ferrous scrap products on a daily basis, and continually look to Padnos for their raw material product solutions. At Padnos, we continually strive to improve our process capabilities, providing quality assured products on a just in time basis.

 Padnos is now providing electronics recycling
services to customers
at each of our retail yards as well as to corporate customers.
Currently, electronic waste accounts for approximately 2% of the
overall waste in US landfills, but over 70% of overall toxic waste. In
particular, CRT monitors and computers are filled with toxins such as
lead, cadmium, and mercury that must be handled responsibly to avoid
contamination of surrounding areas and waterways.
