Aluminum scrap grades & preparation

Aluminum is light, non-magnetic, and endlessly recyclable. What it grades at depends almost entirely on what is still attached to it.

What we buy

Aluminum we buy

  • Siding & gutters
  • Window & door frames
  • Wheels
  • Sheet & extrusion
  • Diecast
  • Aluminum shavings
  • Insulated aluminum
  • Automotive components

What lowers an aluminum load

Steel screws, plastic trim, glass in window frames, and rubber all pull a clean load down to a lower grade. Aluminum separates on what is attached more than on the aluminum itself.

Removing non-aluminum attachments where you can helps us process the load faster and generally improves the payout.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but it grades lower. If the steel comes off with a screwdriver, taking it off is usually worth the time.
