The longer a business stays open, the more wisdom they gain. Alco Iron & Metal Company had an advantage when its doors were first opened in 1953, we were built off of our family’s strength and experience. Standing tall today, 60 years later, the wisdom we’ve accumulated can’t be found in any textbook or classroom.

The family owned and operated system we’ve built is a result of blood, sweat and tears. While we were continuously pushing to become the best full-service scrap metal provider in Pittsburg, CA, we decided to take our efforts a step further. We wanted to hear from you, the customer.

The secret to the Alco Iron & Metal advantage is our connection with the community. Not only has our company been passed down through four generations of our family, we’ve been serving four generations of yours as well. Our hard work and expertise fostered our dream but it was our willingness to go above and beyond to satisfy our customers that kept us in the lead.

 We Take Your Business Seriously  

Alco Iron & Metal Company doesn’t measure our success by the money we make. We don’t feel satisfied from knowing that we’ve had the opportunity to serve the environment on both sides of the globe. The thing that really keeps us going is knowing how our efforts make life easier for our customers.

Customer satisfaction has always been our primary objective. Over the years, we’ve become fluent in what that really means. Friendly and knowledgeable team members. Prompt and convenient service options. And the best of the best in terms of quality. We understand what you want because we form long-lasting relationships with our customers. We listen to what you say and we put ourselves in your place.

That’s the beauty of being a member of the communities we serve. It’s also a perk of being a family run company. We’re people too. We know what we would expect out of a full-service metal provider. So we made it our mission to bring our vision to life.
