Everyone in Palo Alto who’s ever had any scrap metal needs – recycling, purchase & selling, steel demolition – they’ve definitely come across the Alco Iron & Metal company name.

We prioritize our values above all else. More than a business opportunity, Alco Iron & Metal Company was birthed from our family’s passion for providing the best service available. Each interaction with our clients & every time one of our 5 facilities are opened for business, we make sure to honor our original commitment.
