Need to recycle your old gas-powered lawn equipment? Bruno’s makes it easy 🌿 Read More
We’re more than a scrap yard—we’re a fourth-generation business built on hard work, honesty, and community.
When Bruno Tosi first opened his scrap yard in the mid 1940’s on Fulton Street, he may not have realized he was establishing a legacy. Since then, it has grown into one of Fresno’s most trusted full-service recycling centers – built on family values, dependable service, and community roots.
Through decades of industry change, we’ve stayed committed to treating people fairly, paying honest prices, and doing our part to keep recyclable materials out of landfills and in circulation.
Today, we continue to serve individuals, businesses, and municipalities across the Central Valley with fast, reliable, and environmentally responsible service.
Each valued team member has extensive experience, contributing to multiple aspects of the recycling industry.
General Partner - 3rd Generation
Randy Tosi is the third-generation steward of Bruno’s Iron & Metal and the man first credited with turning a scrappy Fresno junkyard into a thriving, multi-acre recycling facility. A California native with deep roots in the Central Valley, Randy began working in the family business at a young age, quickly learning the ropes during weekends and school breaks at the 7 ½-acre yard.
As a young adult, Randy took on a much larger role after his father suffered a traumatic injury. That challenge became a turning point. With a clear vision, steady faith, and a conservative but strategic mindset, Randy guided the company through a decades-long transformation—from hand-sorting small scrap piles to handling high-speed baler systems and 100-roll-off container routes across the region.
Though semi-retired today, Randy’s influence is embedded in every part of the business. His legacy can be seen in the strong relationships Bruno’s has with competitors, brokers, and partner yards—built not just on business, but trust. His leadership style valued hands-on experience and faith as a guiding force.
Randy brought foresight and grit through every phase of growth. He now spends more time with family, Schutzhund dog training, and in reflection, while continuing to support Bruno’s mission and next-generation leadership as a General Partner and mentor.
Chief Operating Officer - 4th Generation
Nick Tosi is the Chief Operating Officer of Bruno’s Iron & Metal, a fourth-generation, family-owned recycling facility rooted in Fresno, California. A California native and veteran of the U.S. Marines, Nick brings a lifelong familiarity with the scrap industry and a sharp focus on commodity trading and operational excellence.
When Nick stepped into leadership in 2013, the business faced outdated systems, low morale, and cultural stagnation. Through a clear commitment to transparency, accountability, and a touch of humor, he helped reshape the company’s culture, quadrupling its size over six years. Today, Bruno’s is known not just for its growth, but for its tight-knit team, customer trust, and reputation as a modern, community-focused recycling leader.
Outside of work, Nick is a dog lover, class clown, and nature enthusiast who believes hard work doesn’t have to be boring. Whether he’s making dad jokes in the yard or playing with a stranger’s dog at Target, Nick keeps things light—but intentional.
Nick is passionate about mentorship, personal growth, and community collaboration. He currently serves as a chapter board member of ReMA (formerly ISRI), sits on the board of the San Joaquin Valley Manufacturing Alliance, and is an active member of Vistage, a national peer advisory organization for business leaders. His leadership is guided by faith, humility, and the belief that wisdom only matters when it’s shared.
