Ecotrade Group
Recycling Center in Newark, Delaware
About This Location
Ecotrade Group is a specialist buyer and recycler of scrap catalytic converters, with a North America facility at 2915 Ogletown Rd in Newark, Delaware. Rather than a public drop-off center, it works on a sell-your-material model: you can ship converters in, schedule a DHL home pickup of up to 1,000 kg, or arrange on-site purchasing, with payment typically settled within a few business days. The company recovers precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium from the ceramic honeycomb inside each converter. This is a commercial scrap-catalyst buyer, not a curbside or household recycling facility.
