WELCOME

Can you imagine what America would look like without scrap recyclers?

   The streets and highways would be flooded with abandoned automobiles and trucks.  Industry doors would be impossible to find because of unwanted mounds of material stacked in front of and all around them. Homes would be littered with old appliances and landfills would be filled to capacity and closed.

WE WANT YOUR SCRAP!

What is Scrap?

It is not waste, trash, or garbage.  It is old automobiles, ships, farm equipment, refrigerators, stoves, bicycles, computers, airplanes, buildings and bridges, packaging materials - all these contain scrap. Scrap is also material left over in a factory when new products are manufactured. Scrap has value because it is the feedstock in the manufacture of new products. It is not garbage because it is diverted away from the normal stream of waste.

Scrap material is divided into ferrous (iron and steel), and non-ferrous (containing no iron) metals, and glass, paper, rubber, and textiles

Goodman Services located in Jamestown NY processes ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and some forms of paper recycling and related services. We manage many industrial and retail (peddler) accounts.

HISTORY

Goodman Services was started in 1945 by Harry, Henry, and Hyman Goodman on Hilton Street in Bradford, PA.  The scrap business was familiar to the men as their father, Abraham Goodman had been a back peddler in the years before WWII. Abraham traveled around the area in a horse drawn wagon and picked up recyclable scrap items from households. 

Goodman Services maintained the scrap business on Hilton Street until 1955 when they moved to their current location in Jamestown NY to make room for the new section of U.S. Route 219. Harry Goodman's sons, Mike and Max, joined their Father in the business and at one time had an auto parts, machining, and piping business for many years.

In 1995 Mike Goodman brought onboard his son-in-law, Tim Sampson, and three years later his son Eric joined in the venture of growing the family's scrap metal business.  The company has grown significantly and now has contracts to buy scrap from industries in Mckean, Potter, Warren, and Elk counties in Pennsylvania, and Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Allegany counties in New York.
