Los Angeles recycling centers apparently suffered greatly during the height of the coronavirus outbreak. Back in December the Los Angeles times published an article detailing the trials and tribulations of the recycling industry in the Southland. While the result of the Coronavirus was that many scrap metal recycling centers closed their doors for some time, people found it difficult to locate a place to take their excess scrap metals.

According to the article, however, there was another incident that affected scrap metal yards around the country even before the effects of COIVD-19  were being felt. There was a collapse of the recycling market because many buyers overseas were not purchasing the amount of scrap materials that they had in the past. This caused a significant number of recycling centers to shutter their doors. Because of this and after being hit by the second punch of the coronavirus, many recycling centers  closed up shop.

This caused people who wanted to recycle to find other places to take their scrap metal. While some recycling centers went out of business, others like us–TM Scrap Metals in Sun Valley, California–to deal with a surge in scrap metal customers. One company’s loss is another company’s gain as it turns out.

As of June 15 fifteenth of this year we can fairly safely say that the shutdowns and restrictions imposed is the coronavirus are mostly a thing of the past as California begins the process of getting back to business and recovering both physically and financially from the coronavirus. However, this is all a long way of saying that TM Scrap Metals continues to service the scrap metal recycling market. We have been fortunate in that we have not felt the effects here that other scrap metal dealers in and around Los Angeles have felt.
