Purchasing Your Scrap Metal for Recycling

Action Metals has been family-owned and incorporated with the State of Illinois since 2013. With almost a decade of teaching experience and a master’s degree in Education, Todd Fingerman was drawn to the world of scrap metal. In 2005, he left teaching and joined the metal recycling business, spending six years learning the business as a copper buyer for his father-in-law. After a few more years in the industry, he found himself at the helm of Action Metals Recycling.

Todd started the business in his 2-car garage. As he outgrew his space, he expanded into neighbors’ garages and multiple storage facilities. Then, in August of 2014, Action Metals moved to a 20,000 square foot home on Frontage Road in Des Plaines. With a great location and years of experience in scrap metal, Action Metals continues to build a loyal following and a stellar reputation. After being at facility for 5 years Action Metals has taken a new direction and no longer has a door trade. We are no longer open to the public for deliveries. We only schedule pick-ups.”
