HOME SCRAP METAL PURCHASING USABLE STEEL SALES ABOUT US LOCATIONS ABOUT US OUR HISTORY 1893 Formation 1st Generation – 1893 Formation When Charleston Steel & Metal first opened in Samuel Steinberg’s back yard on King Street in 1893 , customers brought their scrap metal in horse drawn wagons. Only a few years after a devastating Earthquake in 1886 that decimated the city and the economy, Charleston was in economic woes. Eventually Charleston was able to build an elaborate public building in 1896, the United State Post Office and Courthouse, and Its completion signaled a renewed life in the heart of the city. 2nd Generation – 1930’s Industrial Businesses Samuel’s two sons, Leon and Jack, took the helm in the early 1930’s after Samuel’s death. Charleston Steel was awarded its first major contract in 1939 with the City of Charleston to “exploit scrap iron materials from the city dump. 3rd Generation - 1960’s-1980’s Growth & Expansion In 1961, Leon’s son Samuel joined the business and Jack’s son, Bernard, followed suit in 1968. As the City of Charleston evolved and grew, so did Charleston Steel and Metal. In 1982, CSM purchased property in lower Berkeley County to increase its footprint in the region. Due to the significant addition of agricultural land, CSM opened a second full scale processing facility on this site and relocated its useable steel sales headquarters to this location. 4th generation - 1990's-present Samuel’s son , Stephen, joined CSM in 1991. CSM expanded its operations to Georgia and still maintains a recycling facility in Augusta, Augusta Steel & Metal. Samuel retired in 2006 after 45 years at CSM. In 2008, CSM moved its downtown headquarters to a state of the art scrap recycling facility on Spruill Ave. just over the city line in North Charleston. Bernard’s son, Jonathan, completed the 4th Generation when he arrived back in Charleston in 2012. Family owned and operated. CSM is proud of its Charleston roots, and has seen continued growth expanding into satellite facilities in Charleston and Berkeley counties, and servicing customers both in our backyard as well as several hundred miles from our base. * Additionally, Charleston Steel & Metal has had a longstanding relationship with local fire departments allowing rescue training at our facilities.
