About Us

Started in 1960 as a small scrap yard with one truck and a lean-to, Belson Steel Center Scrap, Inc. has grown to become a full-service scrap processor and recycling center handling over 100,000 tons of material annually. Located on a 16-acre site in Bourbonnais, Illinois, it provides scrap metal and recycling services, from the collection of aluminum cans from walk-in customers to industrial scrap services involving pickup and delivery utilizing its large fleet of containers and trucks.
