Silver Refining & Scrap Silver Recycling

Arch Enterprises provides scrap silver refining and recycling services for all types of silver bearing items. Jewelry, flatware, and silver serving sets are some of the common types of silver we refine, but we also extract silver from X-ray films, photographic film/paper, and many other items. We can efficiently refine both very large amounts and small batches at our refining facility and have the capability to process silver scrap such as films and paper by the truckload.

We return silver refining payments to our customers based on the actual silver recovered from the material, not on estimates. Smaller consumer items are process for payments within a few days. Payments to industrial clients are based on the COMEX market price of silver and will be made in less than 30 days of shipment received.

We are not a middleman or consolidator. All silver refining and recycling is done in our facilities so we can control all aspects of the process and ensure you receive the highest return for your material. Our experienced team utilizes the most appropriate extraction techniques while our wide range of equipment (including small and large furnaces; thermal oxidizers and electrolytic purification cells) allow us to recover the most silver possible.

All silver recycling is done on a custom basis. We do not consolidate your silver scrap with material from other customers. We perform the silver recovery procedures and pay you based on type and quantity of your silver scrap material or return the recycled silver.

We are in compliance with all local, state and federal environmental regulations, and all of the material from our silver refining operations is recycled back into industry.
