Go behind the scenes at one of the nation’s largest recycled metal shipping facilities, in the latest episode of the Port of Long Beach’s award-winning television program, “Pulse of the Port.” The program is available for viewing on the Port’s web site, www.polb.com/videos, and on Long Beach Television Channel 8. 

In this episode, “Pulse of the Port” debuts new segment host Scott Nelson who explores SA Recycling at the Port’s Pier T. The massive recycling facility turns discarded refrigerators, railroad cars, buses, fence posts and other metallic trash into a major export item. Nelson shows viewers giant hydraulic shears that cut through steel beams like butter and the massive pans that load pulverized metal into ships.
