Since it has been in business since the 19th century, it's probably fair to say that The David J. Joseph Company (DJJ) has been in a scrap or two. One of the largest scrap-metal brokerage operations in the US, DJJ recycles both ferrous (iron and steel) and nonferrous metals (copper, aluminum, lead, and brass) worldwide. To accomplish this feat, the company operates about 70 scrap processing centers (including 15 car shredders) and about a dozen trading offices in the US. Its shredders can process up to a million car hulks each year. It is also one of the world’s largest importers of pig iron and hot briquetted iron.
