The Modesto Junk Company is a family-owned operation founded way back in 1920. Um, that's nearly 100 years ago.
Locally owned and operated since 1920, Modesto Junk Company has maintained a tradition of leadership in the scrap metal industry and the greater Modesto, Stanislaus and Central California community for more than 90 years. One of the main reasons behind the company’s industry longevity and success is the people who work at the company. Modesto Junk Company is a privately owned corporation, and is currently one of the oldest established business enterprises in Modesto.Four generations after the founder went around collecting metal with his horse-drawn wagon, Modesto Junk now has a big facility with major scrap-crushing equipment that frankly, looks like fun to operate. King of Cans? No doubt!
