+'''Western Metal and Export''' was a San Jose metal recycling company that often processed used cans from nearby canneries.  The business may have been the same as [[Teresini Brothers]], located at the same site earlier in the 1930's.  A 1931 Southern Pacific siding list showed that Teresini Brothers had a ten car siding, with space to load and unload four cars.
 Supposedly, many canneries would can food in large #10 cans if they were unsure what sizes would be popular in the next year, and then would open and re-can the food later in the season.  Metal recyclers like Western Metal and Export were often processing these larger cans.  Hauling the waste metal was also dirty; a 1941 complaint by E.F. Stauffer, 191 Ryland Street, declared that Western Metal and Export "hauls slop and waste through the streets from local canneries."<ref>Corbett In Move to Fire Bob Thorpe; City Buys Three New Cars for Police; City Budget Is Approved: [http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1977&dat=19400806&id=QmsiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rqsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1228,3322368 August 6, 1940 San Jose Evening News]</ref>.
