Newco Metal Finds Success in the Recycling Business
“Newco is the largest and oldest metal-recycling company in Newfoundland,” says Robert Anstey, owner. “In fact, there’s no metal project we won’t tackle. Right now, with our fleet of Hitachi excavators and our crew, we’re working in six different towns throughout the province. And that’s a normal day for us.” Newco Metal & Auto Recycling Ltd. bids the demolition of steel structures from industrial sites, government bridges, and mines. They primarily use their Hitachi ZX200 and ZX350 excavators with thumbs and shears to tear down the structures, and their fleet of semi-truck/trailers to bring the metal to their yard in St. John’s for sorting and final cutting to the specifications of their buyers. “We started in the construction business,” notes Mr. Anstey. “And I think that background has given us a step up on figuring out how to bid on and then tear down existing buildings, especially for the scrap. Going after our own steel instead of simply operating a yard has worked well for us. We have plenty of competition from people who like to do the normal stuff, so we’ve worked hard to be good at doing the abnormal stuff – work that other people either didn’t know how to do or didn’t want to do. Demolition or taking things apart is difficult, and it takes a bit of engineering to get it apart safely and economically.”
In addition, Newco buys cars for parts and crushes them. They also buy aluminum, copper, plastic, and paper. Then, they sort, crush, and bale the material for resale. All of the recycled metal is processed in compliance with the strictest environmental guidelines equal to or even exceeding governmental regulations. Additionally, some of the steel never leaves the province, going to local foundries. The rest is typically shipped in containers and trailers on a back-haul basis to buyers in Eastern Canada.

“We started Triple A Excavating as a jointly owned operation between Robert and myself,” says Steve Anstey, Robert’s brother. “We provide a wide assortment of services for various civil projects.” “The Hitachi excavators work just as well for dirt work as they do for demolition. Smooth controls and great weight distribution make the job go faster, no matter what you’re doing.” Newco Metal & Auto Recycling and Triple A Excavating are serviced by Wajax Equipment, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. |
