When you call for service, price quotes or account questions – or when you drive through our gate – these are the friendly folks who are at your service:
Wanda has been running our office and dispatching our trucks since 1981. Over that quarter century, she has formed strong bonds with customers by making sure your service requests are met, even during our busiest times.
Considered by colleagues the heart and soul of our office, Wanda has become “family” to many of our customers as well. Any customer who has called at the last minute to get a scrap bin switched out, requested a container for a clean-up, or asked to schedule a specific service appointment knows just how accommodating and professional Wanda is.
The bottom line: Nobody in the Denver area is as committed to scrap pick-up service as IMI, and Wanda makes sure we stand head and shoulders above our competition.
You could say David was born and bred in the scrap business. After 10 years as a plant manager and buyer with a California-based scrap giant, David was recruited to lead our non-ferrous division. For the past 23 years, David has been in charge of purchasing and marketing all our aluminum, copper, brass, stainless, titanium and every other grade of non-ferrous scrap you can imagine.
As our resident “metallurgist,” David can look at any piece of metal and tell you the exact alloy composition of what you have. (OK, so he has help from the latest spectrograph technology which allows him to “shoot” non-ferrous scrap and get a digital read-out.) He stays up-to-the-minute on pricing with on-line access to world markets and keeps a watchful eye on what our competition is paying for metals. David also attends scrap conferences whenever he can to meet and mingle with those of you who buy our scrap. (Making sure we have a good home for your material ensures you we can pay top dollar.)
The bottom line: Whether you’re a regional wholesaler … a hard working scrap peddler … or a plumber with a pick-up full of copper tubing … David will treat you with the honesty and respect you deserve (and that keeps you coming back)
If you’re a current customer, you’ve probably met Michael. As our primary account rep, Michael makes sure you have the containers and service set-up you need to make your metals recycling as convenient and profitable as possible. With two decades in scrap operations and purchasing, Michael knows his metals. That makes him very valuable to you as a scrap consultant. He is happy to visit any time to quote a clean-up or go over your current industrial service.
The bottom line: Many of our competitors employ “newbies” in this position – but IMI customers get our most experienced and knowledgeable scrap buyer.
When you deliver a load of scrap, Brian is the guy who inspects the material and directs you where to unload. He’s been with IMI for 20 plus years, so he knows our scrap piles like the back of his hand. Brian communicates with Mary at the front counter about what you have, and what it’s worth. Best of all for you, Brian understands our philosophy that we don’t try to make every possible penny on every possible load. Instead, we want to build a repeat customer base by treating you fairly and with respect.
The bottom line: Brian will help you navigate our yard safely, and he’ll go over your load to let you know what it’s worth, and what you could do to get the most money for your material.
Mary is the friendly face in the window at our full-length truck scale and at our retail counter. She’s often the first person you meet when you’re here, so she knows how important it is to be helpful and courteous, no matter how many trucks she’s receiving, weighing, shipping or tracking around our yard.
The bottom line: Mary is many people's favorite. After all, she pays you when you deliver a load of scrap to us!
As our primary bookkeeper, Kathy has all your account info at her fingertips. She can help you match up scrap shipments with payments … pair invoices with service dates … and sort out any other paperwork questions you might have. Kathy also prepares the summaries we provide to help you track scrap volumes and meet your reporting requirements.
The bottom line: For current customers and vendors, Kathy is the one to ask when you have questions about accounting.
