Diamond State Recycling recycling center in Wilmington, DE - View of facility

About this center

Diamond State Recycling calls itself Delaware's largest scrap metal processor, buying ferrous and nonferrous metal at its paved yard at Bowers Street and Vandever Avenue in Wilmington, just off I-495. The yard buys iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, lead, aluminum, aluminum cans, and lead acid batteries, and weighs truckloads on a regulated digital scale. All material arrives by vehicle: no walk-ins or shopping carts, and sellers show a driver's license under state law. A 24-hour camera system watches the yard. Trailer service and containers serve industrial accounts, and staff advise construction, dismantling, research, and manufacturing producers on preparing and separating scrap.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 10 reviewed records matching USDOT 33721 and the current registered legal/DBA name for DIAMOND STATE RECYCLING CORP, dated 2023-11-13 through 2026-07-16. 10 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 4 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 20 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 4; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
