Recycling is good for
the environment only if the recycling process is handled
in an environmentally sound manner. Pacific Iron &
Metal endeavors to handle your scrap with protection for
the environment our first priority. State and federal
laws can make you joint and severally liable for
environmental damages caused by your scrap after it has
left your control. Our water treatment system (the only
METRO approved system in a recycling facility) and our
best management practices assures that we make every
effort to protect you from down stream environmental
liability. Pacific Iron & Metal has never been and is
not now a federal Superfund site. Our efforts were
rewarded when we received the Seattle Rotary Club's 1994
Environmental Excellence award and more recently the 1997
Gold Award from The King County Department of Natural
Resources Industrial Waste Program. |
