Schupan Careers

Pursue a career with the Midwest’s premier provider of recycling and sustainability solutions.

Ask anyone who’s worked here long enough, and they’ll tell you the same thing: it’s the people. It’s the culture of respect and accountability, the genuine investment in one another’s growth, and the sense that the work we’re doing together actually matters. You’ll see it in the small things, like sending every employee home with a turkey for their family at Thanksgiving and the annual summer outings that bring our whole team together to celebrate. But more than that, you’ll feel it in how people show up for each other every day. That’s not an accident. It’s the result of values we live, and it’s what makes Schupan more than just a workplace.

Who are we?

What started as a scrap metal company in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1968 has grown into a team of over 550 with eighteen multi-state locations and a global presence, because we never stopped putting in the work.

We get our hands dirty to solve problems, empower our employees, and invest in the communities we serve. We know that real change happens when we work together, with a shared purpose and integrity.

As a third-generation company, we are proud to be shaping the future of sustainable materials. We invite you to join us, and let’s build a better world, together.

Let’s shape a sustainable future together
