About us

A company born
from experience, driven
by purpose.

PET bottle collection at recycling plant

Scrapmen Recycling Group SRL was founded in July 2013 for the purchase, sale and processing of all types of reusable and recyclable solid waste.

In 2005, our founder, Livio Oleaga, managed one of the country's largest scrap metal exporters. That experience showed him the potential of recycling — and sparked the conviction that the Dominican Republic needed to create value locally, not export the problem.

Today Scrapmen is one of the highest-capacity recyclers in the country, operating in Santo Domingo Norte with national reach.

"I started watching our scrap get exported. My goal today is to keep that value in the country and leave a positive mark."
