Recycling and Reusing
Since 1989
Southern Core Recycling is constantly working to improve the service, quality and value we offer to our customers. The company continuously invests in its employees. We believe that training and education gives each individual employee the opportunity to grow along with the company. Our families are committed to the consumers who buy our scrap from around the world, our customers who sell to us, and our employees who work so hard to make Southern Core Recycling a great company.
Our Family Business History
Over the past 32 years, diversification has played a huge role in the growth of the company. As the core industry changed, the company evolved into a full-service scrap yard that specializes in cast and aluminum from our shredder as well as all other types of ferrous and nonferrous materials.
SCR was founded in Houston, TX by Becky Proler and the Walker Family.
The owners have many years of experience in the automotive and scrap industry along with a solid base of customers. The company’s original model was consistent with most core companies of the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Purchased an Engine Crusher
Today, SCR is one of the nations leading providers of “Clean Cast” to companies worldwide. In 2008, the company installed a “one of the kind” super crusher. The crusher has enabled SCR to provide up to three times more product. The machine provides a cleaner, greener process while providing top quality to our consumers.
Commissioned an Aluminium Shredder
In 2011 SCR commissioned an aluminum shredder. The aluminum shred material supplies a growing number of primary and secondary aluminum smelters all over the world. The shredder produces a quality package and is environmentally sound. We replaced this with a larger shredder in 2021 and improving our technological capacity.
Continued Family Business
The Proler/Walker Group has more than 75 years of experience in the recycling industry. Becky has been involved in every facet of the business for over 30 years.
