Miller Recycling Corporation is a family owned and operated business with a passion to help the environment. For over 75 years the company has been providing all types of paper, metal, plastic and electronic recycling services.

Miller Recycling Corporation celebrates National Recycling Day not just on November 15th, but every day. Randy Miller, president of the 70-year-old company, says "we have always strived to minimize our carbon footprint by instilling processes that emphasized efficiency and sustainability. The company has taken steps including the installation of energy efficient lighting and motor controllers, and in 2013 installed a 300kW 1200 panel roof mounted solar array at our Mansfield facility." The system generates enough electricity to power 30 average homes, and is utilized by the facility to offset up to 90% of its own traditional energy needs. The system will annually eliminate over a half million pounds of carbon dioxide, equivalent to removing over 70 cars from the road.

Miller Recycling Corporation joins the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) in the nationwide celebration of National Manufacturing Day by highlighting the many positive economic contributions of the industry to the U.S. manufacturing landscape. In 2014 alone, more than 135 million metric tons of metal, paper, plastic, glass, textiles, rubber, and electronics were manufactured in specification grade commodities by the U.S. scrap recycling industry.

The company began in early 1940. Frank Miller & Sons, named for its original founder and young son, started by buying and selling everything from scrap metals, paper, cardboard, plastics, rags, old furniture, and other miscellaneous items. Frank became known as the local "Junk Dealer". At the time the term "recycling" had yet to be coined. Little did they know the future potential of their endeavors. Not just for them but for the development of a world wide industry.

Got scrap? Need cash? For over 70 years Miller Recycling has been servicing the New England area, assisting generators of nonferrous/ ferrous metal scrap. This includes Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Lead, Stainless Steel, Insulated Wire as well as Iron and Steel.
