Kalman and Jacob Staiman, immigrant brothers, settled in Elmira, NY. Two years later, they relocated to Williamsport, PA and recognizing the need for recycling in their new home, founded Staiman Brothers. In the beginning, the company specialized in the processing of ferrous and non-ferrous materials and wastepaper. Four generations of Staimans (the current company President is the great-grandson of Kalman) and 114 years later, this prominent recycling company is still privately held and continues to evolve. The company’s current headquarters were built after a fire in 1955 destroyed the original Center Street offices. As the need for recycling has grown, so have the Staiman businesses. In 1996, Staiman Recycling Corporation was formed and in 2013 Staiman Recycling, NY was added. Today, Staiman Recycling Corporation serves the needs of the ferrous and non-ferrous recycling and process industry; Staiman Brothers, Inc. continues to serve the paper and, most recently, the Staiman Recycling NY Inc. services recyclers in New York State. Over the past century, Staiman has consistently supplied customers with quality material by processing thousands of tons of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and wastepaper each year. As in the early years, Staiman relies on a dedicated workforce to meet company goals and standards. However, modern technology is required to keep up with the demands of today’s fast-paced world. Staiman utilizes various types of equipment to make quick work of what used to be a time consuming and manual labor-intensive process. Our privately owned commercial fleet of trucks assures that pick-ups and deliveries are made in a timely manner to ensure the flow of product. From there cranes, front-end loaders, forklifts, Bobcats/skid steers easily move materials throughout the yard to processing stations. Metal and paper materials are baled and loaded into containers quickly and efficiently. Most impressive are the shears. With two hydraulic guillotine shears, 500 ton and 1,000 ton stationed in the yard and a 1,300 ton mobile Genesis shear, steel is processed quickly for shipments to our consumers throughout the eastern United States, Canada, and overseas.
Our locations are in Williamsport and Hanover, Pennsylvania and Elmira, New York but our reach extends up and down the east coast and continues to expand westward. Our versatile logistics system utilizes trucks, containers, and railcars to ship by land and sea. In addition to our recycling and processing centers, we partner with business and industrial scrap generating facilities by providing reliable, cost effective recycling services. We deliver individualized scrap management programs that conserve resources and optimize recycling programs. Our brokerage division utilizes up-to-the-minute pricing, industry knowledge and our versatile logistics system to provide buyers and sellers prompt service and optimal transaction value.
For the consumer drop offs or large industrial accounts, Staiman Recycle is your one stop location for all ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
