Services
Berger Recycling has been providing recycling service for over 100 years. Founded in 1912 by Mr. H. Berger with a horse and wagon, it has grown into a full service recycling firm. Today, Berger Recycling operates a modern automated facility. Berger Recycling is still owned and operated by the third and fourth generation of the Berger Family.
Turn your scrap metal into profit for your business. At Berger Recycling we have become a New England leader in providing Scrap Metal Recycling for RI, MA, and CT. We also provide pick up services at your facility for all of your scrap metal recycling needs. We have a number of different capabilities when it comes to the processing of all grades of nonferrous scrap metal.
Berger Recycling is your solution for copper recycling in RI, MA, and CT. We welcome all commercial and industrial businesses, dealers, brokers and individuals looking to sell their scrap metal. Copper is a non-renewable resource meaning once it has been all extracted there will be none left. Recycling copper is actually 15 percent more affordable and less-resource intensive than mining and extracting new copper.
Once we receive the aluminum we process it through our facility, and place it into our baler to compact for shipping. We also have the capability to accept any quantity of aluminum from large industries or individuals. Pickup is available for customers requiring this service. Aluminum cans return from the recycling bin to the store shelf in as few as 60 days.
For those who are in need of Brass Recycling in RI, MA, and CT, let Berger Recycling be your solution. Brass is actually not a metal that is mined out of the earth but an alloy of copper and zinc. The combination of these metals gives it its traditional yellow hue. Brass also comes in an assortment of other colors such as: Yellow Brass, Red Brass, 85/15, 70/30, 90/10, and Cartridge Brass just to name a few.

A friend and I run a jewelry business where we turn silverware into rings and more @Reforgedfinds on Instagram or @ reforgedfinds.com
We had a great time looking for materials at the recycling center. All of the staff were super helpful and friendly. We got great deals buying and selling flatware.
They even advised us to take our sterling silver to antique shops because they buy at reduced prices for scrap materials while other places buy for usefulness.
Highly recommend & definitely going back soon!

There are many stellar reviews so it’s unfortunate that I’m breaking this winning streak. They may be honest and the “ best bang for your buck” with some material but I wouldn’t recommend bringing them your sterling silver. I brought in a sterling tea service that was 130 t oz.( he told me it was 125 t oz.) I was offered $1860. I asked how he arrived at that number given the days price was $22+. He told me it was very complicated and it would take a lot of time to explain it. Not feeling comfortable with the price, I brought it elsewhere. It was weighed before my eyes% the weight was

I’ve been going here for the last 5 year. Only last week did I realize that they closed at 4. most of the time im rolling in at 4:30ish after work and they never say anything. Even help me unload my scrap from my truck. I purchased a toolbox off them for dirt Cheap and it had a key Weren’t even looking to make money off of it just want to see it go to a good home. A couple months before that I Brought a couple big batteries there to get scrapped they didn’t know if they were recyclable but they took them anyway and paid me out for them. Next time I went there they told me they couldn’t

I called on a Wednesday morning for a dumpster that would handle about a dozen steel file cabinets, and it was delivered within a couple of hours. I spoke to Josh and he was very helpful in accommodating my request. I also spoke with Suzie who, too, was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely call Berger Recyling again should the need arise.

Easy and efficient place to turn scrap metal around the house to cash. I called a few other scrap/recyclers for their prices for metals (mine was copper). They were not quite as good as Bergers, also others were "flexible" as they gave a range and not a set price for the type of material I was bringing. I felt comfortable dealing with Josh, an not having a lot of experience in scraping material, this was important to me. Also got a recommendation on someone to do my roof. Will see how that works out...

Today was the first time I have gone to Berger & Co recycling. When I backed in the gentleman on the dock was friendly and helpful. He assisted me in unloading my scrap. The entire experience was perfect.

I had a great experience with Berger recycling recently. I needed product destroyed for a legal issue I was facing. Berger was very quick to respond to my emails. They called and listened to my situation and provided me a great solution and a very affordable quote. I was very impressed with the personal attention given to my problem. They provided transportation, a great price, and thorough documentation. I am very happy with this company and I would not hesitate to use them again, and I highly recommend!!! A+++++

It's always great to do business with a local, family-run business, especially one with such a long record, over 100 years, of high quality service. They treat everyone as if they are old friends! I highly recommend you go directly to Berger & Co and don't waste time elsewhere.
