About Us
Steven Abbott, is the owner and the driving force behind Scrapco, and spent the last 35 years at the heart of the South African scrap metal trade. He has witnessed the industry’s evolution and, unfortunately, its persistent flaws: inconsistent service, frustrating delays, and a lack of transparency.
Scrapco was founded to change this. We are not just another scrap yard; we are a new kind of business, one that puts integrity and the customer first. By leveraging Steven’s deep industry knowledge and investing in modern systems, we are setting a new standard for how scrap metal is handled.
We are a proudly Port Elizabeth-based company, committed to building strong, lasting relationships with our community and clients.
