We independently confirmed that their shredders are still operating and included them in the above counts only. Two companies declined to participate in this year’s list. ![]() Scrap makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of this list through direct outreach to each company by e-mail, phone, and other avenues. If the shredder yard is part of another company, that parent com-pany is listed in parentheses. We have organized the list by country, then alphabetically by state or province, city, and company name. We’ve noted in the list the five shredder facilities that don’t take automobiles as well as the three that only process aluminum. Not all large hammermill shredders accept the same infeed material. If a company said its shredder is perma-nently shut down, we removed it from the list. Companies only reported 20 shredders as idle this summer, down from the 24 they reported idle in summer 2017. Canadian facilities have added four shredders in the past three years, and the number in Mexico has remained the same. The decrease from 2017 is in the United States, where we list 12 fewer shredders than in 2017. That total is down slightly from the 359 shredders we counted in 2017, even though we made one change to our data collection: We are now including mobile hammermill shredders as well as stationary ones, so long as the shredders are capable of handling automobiles, appliances, and other large infeed materi-als. The Scrap staff counted 351 shredders in North America this summer: 306 in the United States (including Puerto Rico), 32 in Canada, and 15 in Mexico. That’s one finding of Scrap’s 2020 North American shredder list. Slightly fewer shredders are operating in North America in 2020 than there were in 2017. ![]()
