Hitchcock Scrap Yard

Hitchcock Scrap Yard, Inc. (HSY, INC.) is a central Illinois scrap metal processor and recycling business. HSY, INC. buys, processes and sells scrap metals derived from our local “across the scale customers” to Fortune 500 companies, from obsolete industrial plant materials to complete industrial plant tear downs, demolition services and clean-up, along with other various sources.

Since its inception in 1971, Hitchcock Scrap Yard, Inc. has strived to be a leader in the field of scrap processing and demolition work. Over the years the business has re-created its work focus, from a Chicago regional scrap contract with Burlington-Northern to performing petrol-chemical plant demolition for Texaco and Mobil Oil, to name a few. HSY, Inc. has successfully completed demolition contracts across the United States, working in Texas for four continuous years for one petrol-chemical company; leading to the current focus of industrial scrap processing with container placement and local client services.

As its sole owner, Michael Hitchcock, Sr. is a second generation scrap yard owner. It is his mission to leave a legacy of setting new standards in the scrap processing field by a small business owner. With concrete paved drives for both customers and semi tractor trailers, HSY, INC. offers its clients a safe and environmentally friendly location for recycling all kinds of scrap, both ferrous and non-ferrous.
