Smart Scrap Monitoring
Our remote camera monitoring system gives real-time visibility into your scrap boxes, eliminating guesswork and maximizing efficiency.
Safer Operations
Reduce the need for frequent on-site visits and minimize interruptions and unnecessary traffic through your facility.
Lower Emissions
Fewer trips = less fuel = a smaller carbon footprint. It’s better for the planet and your sustainability goals.
More Fuel Efficient
We dispatch only when needed, reducing wasted mileage and making every trip count. This allows us offer the highest prices for your scrap metal.
Minimizing our Environmental Impact
We eliminate 200 trucks from our roads per month by transferring materials between our Forest View and Joliet, IL locations using our company-owned, dedicated barges. The addition of our Forest View barge dock in late 2023 was paramount in our efforts to decrease greenhouse gasses emitted by our trucks, increase safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase efficiency.
Setting a New Standard in Turnings Conatinment
Innovative Design
A first-of-its-kind facility in the Midwest, this state-of-the-art building is purpose-built to contain steel turnings, cast iron borings, and steel fines. Engineered to exceed environmental permit requirements, it sets a new benchmark for responsible material management.
State-of-the-art steel turnings containment building at our Joliet, IL facility—the first of its kind in the Midwest.
Environmental Protection
Engineered to fully contain recyclable materials, this facility prevents rainwater exposure, eliminates the risk of ground contamination, and protects our recycling partners’ environmental responsibilities by stopping runoff and leachate.
Structural Highlights
Spanning over 30K square feet, the facility holds up to 5K tons of material and includes 80K gallons of liquid containment capacity. Constructed on a reinforced concrete pad and sealed with a composite moisture barrier, it’s engineered to isolate materials from the environment.
