Iron and Metal Services
Expertise – Safety – Sustainability
At Becker Iron & Metal, we strive to uphold our core values and commitment through all we do. Our St. Louis area location, railroad and barge access, volume and industry expertise allow us to obtain the best sales prices possible for our customers. We are dedicated to upholding our foundation through an undeterred focus on customer service, quality control, environmental stewardship and health and safety programs.
THE INS AND OUTS
We use systematic and formalized procedures in receiving, examining and sorting scrap deliveries by trained inspectors. From the point of delivery over our State-certified scales, scrap is scrutinized and sorted by grade for processing to maximize its value to the customer.
We use dedicated inbound and outbound truck scales for a quicker response to weighing our customers’ shipments and a logically designed facility to rapidly offload delivered materials to help drive the fastest turnaround for our customers.
SAFETY MEANS SECURITY
At Becker Iron & Metal, the safety and well-being of our employees, contractors and visitors always come first.
We are proud to be recognized as the first scrap metal recycling company in Illinois to be accepted into OSHA’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), making us a model in worksite safety and health. With Becker, you can feel confident knowing safety is not only a priority, but a promise.
A PROMISE SUSTAINED
At Becker Iron & Metal, environmental stewardship is a core philosophy for how we operate our business. We pride ourselves on the ability to promise our customers sustainability from start to finish:
- Inspecting every delivery for hazardous materials or waste
- Managing water runoff, oil containment, and air emissions
- Ensuring environmental security after products leave our facility
