Sims Metal

Sims Metal is a vehicle processing facility in San Jose that recently received approval for a special use permit to allow the site to receive obsolete vehicles, safely decommission them and prepare them for shipment to Sims’ shredding facility in Redwood City. With the ability to process vehicles at the San Jose location, Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMTs) is significantly reduced with more processed cars fitting on each shipment. The resulting trip reduction is a win for the environment with a reduction in emission pollutants.
