The Name Corporate Automotive Companies Trust
Professional Scrap Metal, Catalytic Converter
and Automotive Core Recycling for Corporate
Chains, Dealership Groups, Repair Shops,
and Commercial Businesses.
RELIABILITY. INTEGRITY. PARTNERSHIP.
Trusted by Corporate Automotive Businesses.
Built Around Yours.
When corporate automotive companies,
dealership groups, and multi-location
repair businesses need a dependable
recycling partner, they need more
than someone offering to buy scrap.
They need a professional organization
that understands their business,
respects their time, offers competitive
pricing, and delivers consistent service.
That’s where Christensen Recycling
stands apart.
For more than 25 years,
Christensen Recycling has built
long-standing relationships throughout
the automotive recycling industry.
Our dedicated
Over-the-Road (OTR) Purchasing Division
brings our scrap metal and catalytic converter
recycling expertise directly to commercial
customers throughout the Northeast.
One Consistent Standard.
Multiple Locations.
A Recycling Partner for Corporate
Automotive Networks
Christensen Recycling works with
independent repair businesses,
dealership groups, commercial
automotive operations, and locations
associated with recognized automotive
service networks, including
Midas and Meineke.
Our experience serving corporate
automotive locations helps us
understand the expectations of
regional managers, business owners,
and multi-location operators.
Consistent communication, dependable
pickups, experienced buyers, and
coordinated recycling programs
are essential to a successful
long-term relationship.
Reliable Service
Professional pickup coordination
built around business operations
and route availability.
Corporate Account Support
Recycling arrangements designed
for individual facilities and
qualifying multi-location groups.
Experienced Buyers
Knowledgeable purchasing
representatives who understand
automotive scrap and converters.
Long-Term Partnerships
A relationship-focused approach
built on trust, accountability,
and consistency.
Our goal isn’t simply to make
one purchase. It’s to become
the recycling partner your business
can depend on year after year.
Our OTR Department Comes
Directly to Your Business
Our Over-the-Road Department specializes
in purchasing catalytic converters,
scrap metals, and automotive cores
directly from qualified commercial
locations.
Instead of having your employees
load materials, leave your facility,
and visit a scrap yard, our mobile
purchasing representatives can come
directly to your location.
This approach helps businesses
reduce unnecessary handling,
simplify recycling operations,
and recover value from their
recyclable materials.

Catalytic Converter Specialists.
More Than Just Scrap Buyers.
One of Christensen Recycling’s
most important advantages is
our specialized catalytic converter
processing expertise.
Unlike many operations that simply
purchase and resell converters,
Christensen Recycling operates
in-house decanning, milling,
and sampling equipment.
Catalytic converters contain
valuable precious metals,
including:
Platinum (Pt)
A valuable precious metal
recovered through catalytic
converter recycling.
Palladium (Pd)
An important precious metal
commonly found in automotive
catalyst materials.
Rhodium (Rh)
A specialized precious metal
used in automotive emissions
control systems.
In-House Processing
Decanning, milling, and
sampling capabilities support
our specialized processing operations.
We Understand What’s Inside Them.
Our technical knowledge and
processing operations help us
provide informed, competitive
purchasing opportunities
for qualifying automotive businesses.
