Kral Scrap Metal, Inc.

"Trusted Recycling Since 1980"

About Us

Kral Scrap Metal, Inc. has been a proud part of the Big Bend community for generations. What began in 1949 as the Kral family’s small scrap operation has grown into a trusted, locally rooted recycling center serving Waukesha County and beyond. For more than 75 years, our family has carried on the tradition of hard work, honesty, and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Now led by current owner Mike Kral, the business continues to honor its heritage while providing modern, efficient recycling services. We specialize in stainless steel, copper, aluminum, lead, cast iron, brass, and a wide range of other metals—offering solutions for both individuals and businesses seeking responsible disposal and maximum value.

But what truly defines us isn’t just what we recycle—it’s how we treat people. We’re known for our fast, friendly service, and we consistently go above and beyond to help customers unload materials, understand the process, and get the best possible payout for their scrap. At Kral Scrap Metal, every visitor is treated like part of the community we’ve served for decades.

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting a business built on tradition, integrity, and a cleaner, greener future.
