About this center

Belson Steel Center Scrap began in 1960 as one truck and a lean-to and now processes more than 100,000 tons a year on a 16-acre Bourbonnais site. The family-owned yard buys ferrous, non-ferrous, and electronic scrap with no appointment, any load size, and cash payment, and it is open six days a week with Spanish spoken. Kankakee County residents in participating municipalities drop off e-scrap free through the county program. Industrial customers get containers and trailers placed on site, from roll-offs in 20 to 65 yard sizes to 48-foot flatbeds and high-side gondolas, with scheduled pickups. Belson also runs building and industrial demolition, torch cutting at customer sites, and wind farm decommissioning, and sells new and reusable steel from a 35,000-square-foot warehouse and a one-acre yard. A Chicago Heights subsidiary handles railcar dismantling.
