We sell our scrap and other materials and equipment that we no longer need. This includes both used and new material that may be obsolete or otherwise now unsuited for our use. Some surplus materials may be offered for sale to our employees but this is not normally done if we are soliciting offers from outsiders.
Our intent is to

• recycle or otherwise dispose of material in the most environmentally friendly and practical manner

• appropriately manage the associated risks of disposal

• maximize the value we receive for goods sold

• minimize the costs we incur to affect the disposal

Our selling strategies and practices are designed to do these things. For more information click on
