http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/r-taut-shredder-map-2012 1/2MAP OF U.S. AUTO SHREDDING PLANT LOCATIONS >>

Recycling Today  publishes a list of U.S. auto shredder in-stallations every two years, and we’ve seen growth in ca-pacity for the last decade running. Te number of autoshredders in the U.S. first surpassed 200 as of our 1998

list. In the 14 years since, that number has topped the 300mark, though seven of the plants included on our 2012 list areproposed installations for 2013. Tese shredders range in sizefrom 10,000-horsepower “mega” models to relatively small1,000-horsepower models.

POPULATION CENTERS

exas again tops the list, with 27 shredder installations anda 28 th planned for 2013. At six, Brownsville houses the mostauto shredders, followed by Houston with three.

Ohio and Pennsylvania both are home to 15 shredderplants. Te Ohio cities of Canton, Columbus and oledoeach are home to two shredder plants, including operationsby Slesnick Iron and Metal, PSC Metals and OmniSource.

Pittsburgh, with two auto shredders, has operations by Nev-ille Metals and ube City, while emple, Pa., is home to twoshredders operated by Royal Green LLC/AMG Resources.

Florida currently houses 14 shredders, though a 15 th isplanned at Manatee Metals in ampa. Michigan, also the siteof 14 plants, includes operations by Ferrous Processing &rading, Louis Padnos Iron & Metal and OmniSource.

Planned installations include Montana’s first auto shred-der, to be operated by Pacific Steel & Recycling in Lockwood,as well as in Niagara Falls, N.Y., operated by Falls Metal Re-cycling, and in Wawayanda, N.Y.,to be operated by Brook-field Resource Man-agement.

TIGHT SQUEEZEU.S. scrap processors continue to add shredding capacity, increasing competition for obsolete vehicles and white goods.

INTENSE COMPETITION

In 1998, processors were concerned that the U.S. had an over-capacity of auto shredders. More than 100 shredder installa-tions later, the issue is even more concerning. (See “oo Muchof a Good Ting,” p. 76.) Certainly, competition for auto hulkshas grown along with the number of auto shredders.

As Larry Danielle, owner of auto parts recycler U-Pull-It,Davie, Fla., told Editorial Director Bri an aylor for “In-HouseService,” the September 2012 Recycling Today  cover story, “Alot of shredder operators are now getting into the ‘you-pull-it’business to provide their own feedstock. Te natural progres-sion of my growth was to gravitate into their business.”

For the ferrous commodity focus article, “Holding Steady,”in the May issue of Recycling Today , a shredder operator basedin Illinois told Managing Editor DeAnne oto: “Tis is a cyclewhere you realize that if you are going to compete with yourneighbor, you are not going to put in a baler or a shear; you aregoing to put in a shredder.”

Sources say intense competition for material is erodingmargins. “We are probably doing a little better than breakingeven,” a Georgia-based processor said of his operation in lateApril of this year, when No. 2 shredded scrap was selling at$438 per ton as a U.S. average. “If you can take 5 percent tothe bottom line, you are doing very well. Right now, that’s notavailable,” he added.

With No. 2 shredded scrap selling for $398 as of Septem-ber, auto shredder operators likely are experiencing evenmore chaffing now than they were at the start of the spring.

However, shredder capacity continues to grow, as evi-denced by the 2012 list of U.S. shredder plants (some of

which may currently be idled) that are installed or plannedfor 2013.
