Aluminum
Recycling
Aluminum recycling recovers one of the most energy-efficient recyclable materials — recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than producing it from raw bauxite ore. Common sources include extrusions, sheet, cans, castings, and automotive parts.
What We Accept
All items processed through certified facilities with full documentation.

Sorting
Separated by alloy series (1000-7000). Different alloys have different values and processing requirements.
Cleaning
Paint, coatings, and attachments removed. Clean aluminum commands better rates.
Melting
Melted at 1,220°F — significantly lower than the 3,700°F needed to process raw bauxite. This energy savings is why aluminum recycling is so economically favorable.

Pricing varies by alloy and form. Clean extrusions and sheet typically pay $0.50-$1.00+/lb. Cast aluminum pays less. UBC (used beverage cans) have their own market rate. We quote at daily commodity prices.
Producing aluminum from raw bauxite ore requires massive amounts of electricity for smelting. Recycling skips the smelting step — melting existing aluminum uses 95% less energy. This makes aluminum one of the most economically and environmentally favorable materials to recycle.
Yes, in commercial quantities. Used Beverage Cans (UBC) are one of the most recycled products in the world. For businesses generating large volumes (restaurants, venues, cafeterias), we provide dedicated collection.
Yes. Paint burns off during melting. However, clean aluminum (no paint, no attachments) grades higher and pays more.
Cast aluminum from wheels, engine components, and transmission housings is accepted. These are alloy-specific and priced accordingly — typically slightly less than wrought/sheet aluminum.
