A metal shredding and recycling company will invest $11 million to add its seventh operation in South Carolina, according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce. DCC Metal Recycling expects to create 78 jobs at the new 48-acre site in Dillon County.
“Our new operation will be providing excellent job opportunities as well as the purchasing of metal recyclables from area scrap dealers and the general public,” said DCC Metal Recycling President and CEO Donald R. Brewer Jr. “The company is expanding its South Carolina operations into this region resulting in local economic development. The city of Dillon and South Carolina’s new inland port make it a perfect fit for our operation.”
Barbara Melvin, SC Ports President and CEO, said SC Ports is proud to support businesses like DCC Metal Recycling. “By providing direct rail access to the Port of Charleston, Inland Port Dillon connects companies in the Pee Dee and beyond to global markets and enables goods to swiftly move through the supply chain,” Melvin said.
