Full Circle Recycling is celebrating its 20th anniversary in June. The business has three locations: 965 Lancaster Pike, Quarryville; 702 S. Prince St., Lancaster, with the entrance on Seymour Street; and 1430 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster.

Brian Grimm has been involved in the recycling business since he was a child. His father, Ray, started G & R Auto Salvage with a partner in the 1970s. Growing up, Brian worked there on weekends and during summers. In the 1980s, he managed his own yard, Agreeable Auto Salvage in Mount Joy.

Eventually, Brian sold his salvage yard and the Grimms - including Brian's wife, Dottie, and their sons, Zachary and Isaac - raised broiler chickens and beef cattle on farms in Willow Street and outside of Delta in southern York County.

When Ray retired from his business, Brian and Dottie bought Ray's salvage yard, located at the top of the Buck hill outside of Quarryville. They changed the focus from selling used auto parts to buying scrap metals. A few years later, they bought their second location on South Prince Street in Lancaster, formerly Dixon Recycling. Then, in 2014, they bought the former Rubin Steel Company on Fruitville Pike in Lancaster.

Zach and Isaac attended college at Shippensburg and Penn State universities, with Zach earning a degree in business management and Isaac earning a degree in finance. After working elsewhere, they both returned to the family business and plan to take over the operations one day. Zach currently manages the Fruitville Pike branch, while Isaac manages the location at the Buck. Cousin Troy McDonald manages the South Prince Street location.

Full Circle Recycling gets its name from the fact that the Grimms went from the original business of selling used parts and recycling automobiles to farming, then back to recycling.

To celebrate the business's 20th anniversary, each of the Full Circle Recycling locations held customer appreciation events in early June with free food, contests, and prizes.
