Chicago Metal Recycling

Chicago Metal Recycling

Metals are unique for various reasons. To be sure, the fact that metals come from the earth and that metals like steel, iron, and aluminum (amongst others) can be manipulated for building and manufacturing purposes, offering strength and durability, is pretty amazing. Another unique characteristic of metals is the fact that metals can be recycled nearly indefinitely. Once a metal is extracted from the earth and enters the consumer stream, it can be recycled and reused time and time again, usually without compromising the integrity of the metal.

At Belson Steel Center Scrap Inc., our Chicago metal recycling company is passionate about scrap collection and recycling and wants to be your business’ go-to metal recycler in the Chicago area, as well as throughout the states of Illinois and Indiana. Reach out to us today to learn more about our scrap recycling services.

Chicago Metal Recycling – Why Do It?

Metals are extremely valuable materials, and, rather than having them become part of the waste stream after they have been used, our team is passionate about reusing and recycling metals. When metals are recycled rather than tossed,  there’s both an environmental benefit and a financial incentive. When metals are recycled, energy is saved and natural resources are conserved. In addition, jobs are created, the economy is stimulated, and the business that sells the scrap metal benefits by getting cash for their scrap. Because recycled metal is also less expensive than newly-mined metals, businesses can also save on their production costs by choosing metal recycling.

Every year, millions of tons of metal are recycled across the nation, and for good reason. When a single ton of steel is recycled, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone are conserved, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
