Our Story

In the depths of the Great Depression, a young boy in Fayette County, Georgia, discovered that even discarded metal had value. What began as survival revealed a deeper truth: metals were not just junk, but the foundation of industry and progress in America.

Years later, that lesson became the backbone of Fayette County Recycling. Built on Southern grit and resilience, our company honors the tradition of making the most out of what we have. Recycling isn’t just a service we provide — it’s a continuation of a story that proves yesterday’s scraps can fuel tomorrow’s economy.
