A GREAT DAY ON CAPITOL HILL
Barry Wolff, Vice President and General Manager of Charleston Steel (CSM), along with more than 100 ISRI members took part in ISRI’s 2013 Congressional Fly-In event. ISRI’s Annual Fly-In provides an important oppor-tunity for ISRI and its members to advocate and build rela-tionships with members of Congress, because if we aren’t doing that, then no one is speaking up for scrap.
Approximately 150 Congressional offices were visited to discuss key issues of importance to ISRI, and the scrap recycling community. This included: the economic and en-vironmental roles recycling plays; ways to prevent materi-als theft; the issue of exporting raw materials processed at recycling facilities; and ISRI’s partnership with the Jason Learning Project that has created a standards-based cur-riculum to teach the science of recycling in schools across the country.
Barry called on the offices of Senators Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Congressman Trey Gowdy. He person-ally met with Joe Wilson and Mark Sanford. Barry invited Congressman Sanford to visit CSM’s facility to better un-derstand the industry, and he graciously accepted. Con-gressman Sanford dropped by on August 23rd. He toured the Spruill Avenue facility and offices. Congressman San-ford said he is interested in keeping valuable materials out of landfills and recycling responsibly. This is CSM’s daily mantra.
During the Congressional appointments, ISRI was also provided with opportunities to explain what the industry has been proactively doing to combat metal theft through-out the country such as through ScrapTheftAlert.com and the training of local law enforcement.

Charleston Steel & Metal Company has been a proud sponsor of The Baker’s Dozen for the past three years. Rose Baker, our Controller, lost her husband to cancer in 2009. We have supported her team’s effort in raising money for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Each year a Relay for Life is held in Charles-ton to raise awareness of the progress being made to find a cure. This year’s Relay, held in May at the West Ashley High School, had over 40 teams, and raised approximately $125,000.00. Charleston Steel and Metal is honored to participate, and applauds all the runners, walkers and sponsors who make living in the LowCountry as good as it can be.
The cake was donated by team members Robert and Margie Meyers

JASON HUGGINS Jason Huggins has been with Charleston Steel just over two and a half years. He grew up and still resides in Wal-terboro, SC. His job as a mechanic at Mt. Holly keeps him busy all day long. Before coming to Charleston Steel he worked for various Military contractors in the area: Axle Tech, Navistar and Dyncorp. Jason was always good with his hands. He started at the beginning level for mechanics as a mechanic’s helper. Six years later he enjoyed the title of mechanic, level 4 and became a quality control advisor. The companies he worked for supplied sophisticated mili-tary hardware, sometimes new, sometimes refurbished. He worked on tanks, hummers, Mraps to name a few. It was great training as he now has to work on everything Charleston Steel operates such as cranes, front-end load-ers, trucks and trailers. Jason enjoys the challenge of keeping all of Charleston Steel’s equipment up and run-ning. “It’s a different day, every day.”

In conjunction with the Fly-In, ISRI released an economic impact study that shows the industry provides more than 460,000 direct and indirect jobs in the United States, in-cluding 138,000 direct jobs. Both figures mark an increase from when a similar report was done in 2011. The study
also revealed that the industry generates about $4 bil-lion in state and local revenue annually and $6.3 billion in federal taxes. Overall, the recycling industry provides for more than .5 percent of the national’s total economic activity.

Steel and SocietyThere are thousands of different types of steels. They have evolved to support housing, food supply, transport and energy-delivery solutions. Steel meets challenges posed by climate change, poverty, population growth, water distribution and energy. Almost everything that we use is either made from, or manufactured with, steel. It is a uniquely versatile material.
The steel industry is committed to maximizing the contribution of steel over product life cycles, especially in the use phase. This is done, for example, by providing lighter, safer, long-lasting and more intelligent structures for transport and construction. We also continue to work with designers to create products that are easy to reuse and recycle at the end of their life, to maximize steel recycling.
Steel is the most recycled material in the world and its recyclability is one of its most valuable properties, saving precious raw materials and significant energy for future generations.WORLD STEEL ASSOCIATION
