Arizona Tribune - That Metal Guy Recognized with 2026 Consumer Choice Award for Excellence in Waste Management and Recycling in London

Founded 16 years ago by Tony Laviolette, Founder of That Metal Guy, the company was built on determination, foresight, and a strong commitment to responsible recycling. Laviolette entered the industry by collecting discarded metal items from the curb, quickly identifying that this approach was neither scalable nor sustainable for a professional operation.

Guided by long-term vision, he strategically transformed the business into a structured, customer-first service operating exclusively through scheduled bookings. This pivotal shift established the foundation for a reliable, organized, and highly trusted recycling company that now serves thousands of residential and commercial clients across the region. What began as a one-person operation has since evolved into a 24-time award-winning, 5-star rated business widely recognized for professionalism, integrity, and operational excellence.

Built on Trust, Growth, and Community

That Metal Guy has earned its reputation by combining transparency, efficiency, and genuine environmental stewardship. The company delivers a secure and dependable recycling process designed to protect customers, safeguard materials, and ensure responsible handling from pickup to processing.

"Recognizing early that professionalism and structure were essential to long-term success allowed us to build a service customers could truly depend on. Receiving the Consumer Choice Award is an incredible honour and a reflection of the trust our community has placed in us."
