Welcome to Golden Bear Recycling serving you since 1996

At Golden Bear we buy scrap metal, process the material at our Santa Ana facility and export the material directly oversees for recycling. We offer a full range of commercial and public recycling services within Southern California and the Western United States.

Our Services:

Obsolete equipment buying:

Our specialty is buying and removing unwanted oversized industrial equipment and machinery. Examples of material we buy for scrap includes: forklifts, dump trucks and oil derricks to 250-ton oversized industrial molding machines. Buying, dismantling and removing heavy used obsolete equipment is our expertise.   More Info »

Large volume purchasing:

We buy large volumes of material from metal dealers throughout the United States. Due to our long standing relationships with international buyers our prepared steel is exported directly overseas for recycling, enabling us to bypass the middle man which allows us to pay top scrap pricing.   More Info »
