Why Beacon

You can say we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps. Beginning as a small and hungry family-owned scrap management startup, our integrity and passion to innovate was quickly recognized and appreciated. We learned exceptional service paired with expert scrap guidance made a big difference with our customers. Once established, our business grew and was proven as a capable alternative with the ability to provide transparent, superior scrap management. Today, Beacon is a flourishing, supportive organization, proud of our partnerships with both large and small companies. With strategically located West Michigan facilities, including on railways in Grand Rapids and Traverse City, we are poised to help even more organizations take advantage of advanced scrap management.

A unique approach

Beacon works with organizations to help them easily manage their scrap for efficiency of workflow and optimum returns. Our programs are customized for each customer to make sorting simple and transactions accurate and transparent.

Advanced Scrap Management

Accuracy of material and reporting is critical for both those we buy from and sell to. That’s why we are continually investing in technology and process improvements. We put the latest advancements in measurement equipment to work every day, linking precise load information to online portals that provide up to the minute logistics and proactive reporting. Our strategically located facilities on major railways allow greater access to more buyers and sellers, giving customers more options and maximum returns.

Invested in You

From our family to employees, to our long-term customers, our values ensure we are invested in our customers’ success. We are built to grow in partnership, creating relationships that are mutually beneficial. Our emphasis is quality over quantity, not only in the material we manage, but in the company we keep.
