Taking Action...

Action Metals Recycling was founded by Lane Ketler in 1990.Lane’s recycling involvement dates back over 30 years.He learned the metal business from his father, who co-owned a metal recycling business in Lethbridge, Alberta. Lane started his business in Kelowna because he could see the need for a metal recycling service in the growing community. He also wanted to build a company that would bring his family opportunity. Action Metals began with Lane, his wife Denise, and two employees on a one acre lot at Willowpark Rd.

In 2007, Action Metals partnered with ABC Recycling. This partnership recognizes each company’s strong family values and "business-on-a-hand shake" mind-set. Together they opened a brand new location in Kelowna located at 3258 Highway 97 North.

With over 30 employees, including Lane’s family, and service areas throughout the Southern Okanagan Interior, this state of the art location features the best in environmental management and safety. The location also has a rail spur offering our customers more alternatives to their recycling needs.

Action Metals adopted the ABC Recycling brand in 2012. You can visit any ABC Recycling location throughout BC and receive the integrity of service you are accustomed to.
