Overview
Sims Group USA began its operations in 1988 through the acquisition of various scrap-related assets of LMC Corporation, one of the West Coast's largest scrap metal processors and exporters. LMC's 50-year history of operations in the US began as a salvage and machine company, adding products, services, and facilities throughout Northern California as the demand for recycled products grew throughout the 60's and 70's. Later, LMC added retail facilities to sell new and reusable metal and hardware products.

Today, we operate public recycling centers, scrap processing facilities and Mill Services in the United States. Locations in California also recycle consumer glass, plastic, and aluminum cans. As part of the worldwide Sims Group, the company maintains a network of equipment, facilities, transport, and communications that turn unwanted consumer items and industrial scrap into raw materials for manufacturing operations around the world.

We realize the importance of being a good neighbor. That's why, in each community where we are located, we make special efforts at reducing the noise and visual impact of our operations. Each Simsmetal facility participates in charitable organizations in its community. Through service groups, youth sports teams, hospital charities, and other events, Simsmetal is working to create a partnership with the people who live and work near our recycling centers. We think this kind of cooperation benefits us all.

Simsmetal actively supports the protection of the environment and the role the recycling industry plays in conserving natural resources. Every day, our products and our people have a measurable positive impact on the environment.

Municipal Recycling
Four years ago, SIMS Group expanded into curbside recycling in the United States. The company has since become a cornerstone of New York City’s recycling system, processing and marketing the approximately 240,000 tons of plastic, glass and metal that New Yorkers put into recycling bins each year.

Materials are received from City collection vehicles at Sims Group facilities and then moved between facilities by barge to minimize truck traffic and air pollution within the City. The materials are sorted by commodity type, packaged and shipped to manufacturers as raw material for new products, once again.

As part of its long-term partnership with New York City, Sims Municipal Recycling has drawn up plans for the development of a new recycling facility located at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn. Relying primarily on barges for transportation, this state-of-the-art facility will use magnets to pull off steel, eddy currents to capture non-ferrous metals, and blowers, screens and optical sorters to separate paper, plastics and glass. The project will bring more than 100 permanent “green collar” jobs to the Sunset Park area. The facility will also include an education center to teach children about their role in the recycling process, and to highlight the role of New York City’s recycling program in a sustainable future.

Recycling rates nationwide have more than doubled in the last 15 years to 31%, due to the efforts of companies like Sims, increased global demand for commodities, and ever growing public awareness of environmental issues.

In Europe, where Sims operates numerous recycling facilities, recycling programs are even more ambitious than in the United States, and the recovery rate is closer to sixty percent.

Moving forward, Sims Municipal Recycling will make use of its resources and build on its experience to bring efficient and effective curbside recycling services to other municipalities across the US.
