About Us

At Maumee Metal Recycling, scrap is more than just our business.

For generations, our family has been a trusted name in Fort Wayne, with deep roots that go back to our founder, Jerome Henry Jr. Known throughout the community, Jerry started in the scrap trade as a boy and built a reputation for honesty, grit, and service. Those same values continue to guide us today.

With over 80 years of combined experience, our team knows the industry inside and out: from dropping a box at your job site to advising how to prep your scrap for the best payout. Unlike competitors, our customers know they’ll always be dealing with the same trusted people, year after year.

We operate under the umbrella of Midwest Scrap, with Maumee Metal Recycling serving as the drop-off facility for the community. Whether you are a homeowner cleaning out a garage or a business generating ongoing scrap, we make the process simple, transparent, and rewarding.

Our connections with mills and smelters across the Midwest allow us to cut out the middleman, ensuring top dollar for your scrap and direct contribution to creating new steel and aluminum products.

What truly sets us apart is our motto:

 

“Work with a partner you can trust.”

We have built our reputation on integrity, reliability, and personal service.

When you bring us your scrap, you are not just recycling: you are working with neighbors who care about this community as much as you do.
