Our History
Founded in 1960 with a single truck and modest beginnings, Belson Steel Center Scrap, Inc. has grown into a full-service scrap processing and recycling operation processing over 100,000 tons of material each year. Our primary 16-acre facility in Bourbonnais, Illinois, delivers comprehensive recycling solutions—from residential aluminum can collection to large-scale industrial scrap management, supported by our extensive fleet of containers and trucks.
Our Chicago Heights Processing subsidiary extends our capabilities through a 12-acre specialty processing facility in Chicago Heights, Illinois. This location provides advanced recycling services and specialized scrap processing, including railcar dismantling operations. Chicago Heights Processing also delivers on-site scrap recovery solutions to railroad operators throughout North America.
With a 35,000-square-foot warehouse stocked full of the most commonly used types of new steel, as well as a 1-acre yard of reusable material, the company meets the needs of a variety of end-users throughout the south Chicago area, Northwest Indiana, and central Illinois.
