American ReclamationRange Lead Recovery

Every round you sellleaves value in the berm.

Your first cleaning is on us.

We reclaim the lead from your range, weigh it in front of you and pay you for the recovered metal. Then we work with you to build a maintenance schedule designed so the lead recovered from your range can cover future cleanings.

You keep your range maintained. Your berm helps pay for it.

How it works

We clean it. You get paid.

Your first reclamation cleaning has no cleaning or service charge. We recover the lead from your range, weigh it and document it, then use what actually came out to help set a practical maintenance schedule — one designed so the value of the recovered lead can offset or cover future cleanings.

One

We reclaim

Lead and brass come out of your berm, trap or media. All of it stays inside the range while we work.

Two

We weigh

Everything goes on the scale. You’re welcome to watch every pound get weighed.

Three

You get paid

One statement shows the metal, the weights and the freight. Your first cleaning carries no cleaning or service charge, so you see exactly what came out and what it was worth.

What most crews miss

The broken pieces stay in your berm.

Spent lead comes out in three sizes. Everybody gets the whole bullets. Almost nobody gets the torn jackets, mashed slugs and cracked cores. Too small for a bullet screen, too big for a fines screen, so they sit there. Same metal, same price per pound.

Services

Everything leaves on one truck.

All reclaimed metals. One trip, one pickup, no surprise bill from a hauler you never hired.

Lead reclamation

Spent bullets pulled from rubber, sand and granulate, then sorted and weighed.

Lead fines recovery

The fine powder most cleanouts leave behind. It packs your berm tight and pulls your next cleaning closer.

Berm restoration

Material sorted, screened and rebuilt so the berm goes back to work.

Brass handling

Sorted, processed and paid on its own line of your statement.

Indoor & outdoor

We can do it all.

Real customer. Real results.

Before and after.

The company cleaning this range before us was averaging about 10,000 pounds per reclamation. On our first cleaning at that same range we recovered more than 21,000 pounds — whole bullets, broken pieces and fines, including material earlier cleanings had left behind.

That’s the most lead this range has ever gotten back, in all the years they’ve been open. What the last crew left behind didn’t go anywhere. It just kept building.

The process

Four steps, built around your schedule.

Approximately 10 lanes per day, fines included. A 20-lane range is two days on site, depending on the condition of the berm. We offer flexibility and can service your range without interrupting your operating hours.

From the founder

Joshua Haney

Prior to starting this company I served 10 years in the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman and combat instructor. The Marine Corps shaped how I approach business: take responsibility, do the job right, take care of your people, and never compromise on safety or standards.

I started American Reclamation because I saw a need for a more professional approach to range cleaning and lead reclamation. What started as one specialized service is now a company working with ranges across the country.

I built it around a simple philosophy: Be straightforward with customers. Solve problems instead of creating them. Leave every facility better than we found it.

I’m proud that we create opportunities for fellow veterans, and that the discipline and attention to detail we learned in the military goes into every job we take.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and a father of two. This isn’t just about growing a company. It’s about building a legacy that my family, my team, and the customers who trust us can be proud of.
