UNITED STEEL ALLIANCE

Tucked off Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, the scrap-metal trade keeps the side streets busy. United Steel Alliance stands in an unassuming warehouse district between 87th and 88th streets, collecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals for pickup or drop-off.

Among the trucks loaded with rebar and aluminum siding, ring carriers and baled scrap move through the scales each afternoon. Generators and electric motors arrive alongside plate and beams in standard sizes. The yard also accepts appliances and |copper wiring, along with light iron and stainless bundles of predictable weight. Ring carriers and baled scrap aside, plate and beams arrive daily. Speak with dispatch in the morning about load tickets and dock hours.
