"The name of recycling in the Quad Cities and Central Illinois."

HISTORY CONTACT HOME
Midland Davis Corp. can trace it's roots back to 1892.  In that year, a 20 year old immigrant named Louis Livingston began his career in the scrap industry. Louis made his living by collecting pieces of discarded iron and steel which he would then sell to local foundries and mills. 

In 1908, the business grew to the point where a scrap yard was required. Louis bought a property and named his operation Midland Iron & Steel. 

Currently in its 5th generation of family ownership, Midland Davis has evolved into a quality, full-service provider in all major aspects of the recycling industry including different grades of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, paper, plastics, and wood.

We understand that each customer has specific needs. With over a century of recycling expertise, we know what these needs are and are ready to accommodate any of them.
