  Because of the stainless steel pipe I purchased at Calamari i was able to put up the 25 foot flagpole. The help at Calamari was great. They helped me find what I needed and carried it to my vehicle and load it as well. The cost was very reasonable. I have always had a good experience there wether I was purchasing material ot selling material. I highly recommend them.

  After cleaning out a house in Portland there were several old light weight metal cabinets and old pipes and scrap that needed to be tossed. Instead of putting them in a landfill recycling was a great answer. Twenty minutes down Rt 9, very easy process, and friendly service. Thanks again!

  We disassembled a 3,000 square foot warehouse of steel racking. Calamari Recycling spotted us two 30 yard roll offs, about a week a part, which we filled. Service was prompt, professional and seamless.

  First time here and a great experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing. You should go out of your way to support smaller operations, especially this one. You get much better service.

  They are 30 miles from me but pay so much better than CT scrap who has been using fudgey math lately to make everything an even $ amount, the drop off for Calamari goes over a hill, much better than backing into the pile resulting in more flat tires

  Calamari Recycling was great to work with. They are very dependable, provide excellent service and have fair, competitive rates. I highly recommend using them for your waste disposal and metal exchange needs.

  I've never had an issue here, always professional. You get more for your junk car here than at a junkyard.

  Expect to get a flat tire when entering the yard.. if you don't get a lotto ticket. Other-wise easy and effective here's the metal , here's the money.
