The best example I can give you is the integrity here. We have customers who come in, and there’s lots of times, especially on the retail side, they don’t really understand the value of what they have. They wouldn’t know the difference and we could just buy it as steel and go, ‘haha, we got an upgrade!’ But we don’t. We point it out. We take that piece out that’s of more value and explain to the customer, ‘you need to keep this separate because this is worth a whole lot more than this.’

About Schupan Industrial Recycling

More and more companies are realizing the benefits of intelligent scrap management as a key part of their competitive business strategy. The flagship operation of Schupan, established in 1968, Industrial Recycling has helped thousands of companies recover millions of previously lost scrap dollars with strategic scrap management and recovery practices.

Our drive-through locations in Kalamazoo and Elkhart provide convenience and safety for our customers seeking to recycle all things metal: fencing, siding, string lights, appliances, and even musical instruments. Our customer base ranges from the homeowner DIYer to professional contractors — all receiving market value for metal they may have otherwise thrown away. Our experienced buyers assess the type & condition of the metal, and often help customers realize higher returns by simply suggesting they separate or clean their material prior to delivering it to our location.

Join us every other week as we highlight an employee in our ongoing video series.
