Company History

H.D. Metal Company, founded in 1936 by Hyman & David Stein (Father and son), is a recycling company located in Salisbury, Maryland serving both the commercial and residential recycling needs of the entire Delmarva Peninsula. We specialize in purchasing and processing non-ferrous and ferrous metals, most grades of paper, commercial paper shredding, and various grades of plastic scrap.

In September 1995, the name was changed to Delmarva Recycling, Inc t/a H.D Metal Company. The name change reflects both the new ownership (Gregory L. Stein & David N. Eccleston) and our commitment to the recycling industry. While our strengths will continue to be in non-ferrous and ferrous metals, paper and plastic, our intention is to serve Delmarva's ever-expanding recycling needs in the new millennium.
