What We Do

Belson Steel Center & Scrap is a family-owned and operated recycling center with over 60 years of experience. We pay top market prices for ferrous, non-ferrous, and electronic scrap throughout the Chicagoland and Indiana region.

Scrap Containers

For businesses that produce scrap metal, recycling that scrap isn’t only good for the environment, but is also a smart and financially savvy business decision, too. At Belson Steel, we make scrap recycling easy, managing all logistics of drop-off and pick-up and providing scrap containers and trailers for easy on-site storage. We can drop-off and pick-up these containers at your location, so you never have to worry about being inconvenienced in your goal of recycling your business’ scrap.

Demolition

While it would be nice to think that the buildings and machines we construct last forever, the truth is that over time many of our structures and pieces of equipment become obsolete. As such, instead of offering us benefits, buildings, ships, tanks, vehicles, and more become eyesores that take up too much space and serve little purpose. When it’s time to get rid of these burdensome objects and edifices, Belson Steel is the company to call. At Belson Steel, we have been providing comprehensive demolition services to companies in Illinois for more than 60 years.

Purchase Metal

Purchase Metal from Belson Steel
The world runs on metal. It’s true – metals are used in the manufacture and construction of just about everything, from automobiles to home electronics to the houses in which we live and the buildings in which we work. Metal is used in the machines that work for us and offer us convenience on a day-to-day basis, the chairs we sit in, and the fences that keep us protected. Indeed, it is almost more challenging to find things that don’t require metal to manufacture than those that do.
