On the recordMarch 24, 2026
today I rise to honor Anaheim's very own George Adams for his remarkable career that transformed the recycling industry in the United States. After inheriting his dad's modest scrap metal facility, George grew it into the largest metal recycling company in the United States. He has created 4,000 jobs and processes over 5 million tons of recycled material each year. What makes George such a great businessman? He is a human, and he cares. Before he was big, I remember he had the place that you would go to sell your recyclables, with the best price on metal. Not only that, I remember taco Fridays. You come to sell your metal at George's place, and you got free tacos, all you could eat. I have got to tell you, he is a man with a heart and a man with business acumen. I congratulate George Adams. I say, keep up the good work. He is saving the Earth while he is doing it. He is doing a great job keeping our environment clean.
