Our Story

In a world of big corporations and automated phone lines, we believe some things are still best done the old fashioned way: with a handshake, a commitment to our word, and a genuine connection to the community we serve. For over 25 years, Stafford Auto Recyclers has been more than just a business to our family. It is our legacy and our promise to you. 

Our story isn’t about building a corporate empire. It’s about a passion for the trade, rooted right here in the Stafford area. Our founder, Barry, has been in the recycling business for a quarter of a century, building a reputation for honest dealing and unmatched expertise. When we acquired this business, our goal was not to change it, but to build upon its foundation and infuse it with our family’s core values: hard work, integrity, and treating every customer like a neighbor 

More Than a Business, We're a Family

When you call Stafford Auto Recyclers, you won't be navigating a phone menu. You’ll be talking to us, Barry, Brad, and Glenna, the same people who will show up to haul away your scrap or shake your hand when the job is done. We’re a family that works together, solves problems together, and even spends our free time together, often out hunting or fishing in the woods and waters of Connecticut. 

We bring that same spirit of teamwork and trust to our work. We know that dealing with an old car or a pile of industrial scrap can be a hassle, so we’ve built our business around one simple idea: to provide the fastest, most reliable, and most personal service you can find. While big companies might make you wait a week, we pride ourselves on being there when you need us, often the very next day.

Our Commitment to You

Whether we’re clearing out an old barn for a residential client, managing scrap for a local machine shop, or helping a family with an estate sale, our mission is the same: to provide a service that makes your life easier. We pay fair prices in cash, handle every job with professional care, and stand by the quality of our work. 

We are proud to be a part of the Stafford community. Every piece of metal we recycle and every vehicle we dismantle is one less item cluttering up our beautiful corner of Connecticut. Thank you for trusting our family with your business. We look forward to serving you for another 25 years to come.
