Lenox Metals, LLC.

The responsible collection and conscientious reclamation of waste are important issues to Hawaii's island economy and its fragile environment. Lenox Metals, LLC. has provided that extra margin of protection to the environment and a safe and efficient means of recycling and reducing commercial, industrial and residential metals in Hawaii for the past 20 years. For a quick overview of the company's statistics click here.

The new age of reclamation is more than just buying and selling scrap. It demands a new sense of doing business. Scrap dealers must now be able to provide assistance in identifying and collecting scrap, must conform to higher standards of accuracy in accounting for scrap, and must find improved solutions to the problems of processing and recycling of metal by-products. Concern must be evidence for the profit of the business client and for the future of the environment.

The Lenox management team, with over thirty years of experience, is establishing performance, occupational, and environmental standards for the metals recycling industry. We believe integrated services and prompt payment are essential, so we exploit global communications and worldwide metal markets to make premium pricing for your scrap a reality.

About Alan Hornstein,                            President, Lenox Metals,LLC                        

Alan Hornstein, owner and president of Lenox Metals,LLC, has more than 35 years of experience in the metals recycling industry. His experience and expertise in the field is one reason he was recently honored by the U.S. Small Business Administration as 2008 Small Business Exporter of the Year for the City and County of Honolulu.

Hornstein trained from the ground up at his family’s recycling business in Connecticut, learning metal identification, packaging, buying, and marketing domestically and internationally, before joining GTE Corporation.  There he was part of a task force responsible in identifying potential metals for recycling, and trained and graduated from GTE’s Materials Management Associate Development Program.

He eventually transferred to GTE HawaiianTel, where, as Supply Management manager, he developed and operated a metals recycling program that generated sales exceeding $2 million in one year. Later, he managed the telephone company’s Supply Transportation Group; metals recycling, and waste management programs; and its resale/reuse equipment program.  He was selected to operate a start-up venture, buying and selling scrap metal as an adjunct business for HawaiianTel.

In 1988, he opened Lenox Metals to offer a range of cost-effective recycling services to the military and utility and construction companies in Hawaii and the Pacific Rim.

Hornstein is a member of Better Business Bureau-Hawaii, Business Industry Association, Steel Framing Alliance of Hawaii, Associated Builders and Contractors, and the National Association of Recyclers Institute.
