A WNC original
“Recycling Asheville’s metal—and serving its people—for generations.”
Our story began with Standard Iron and Metal in 1929. In 1951, J. Paul and Sue Long renamed the business Biltmore Iron & Metal Co. Today, the family tradition continues with the same practical values: honest weights, responsible recycling, and work done right.
