The concept of aluminum scrap for modern day recyclers can be understood by looking at its history. In the 1800s, aluminum was so scarce that it was considered a luxury more valuable than gold and silver today. It was so precious that French Emperor Napoleon served his most honored guests in aluminum plates. Today, we have piles of aluminum scrap laying around – in our households to construction sites, workplaces to consumer sites. Napoleon would be really disappointed if you treat such aluminum scrap as trash; which in reality is a treasure in disguise.

At H & Z Scrap Metal we handle your aluminum scrap and Napoleon’s wrath to ensure your scrap turns into product and profit.

Pro-tip: How to Cashout Maximum Payback On Your Scrap

Getting top dollar for your scrap metal isn't just about what you bring—it’s about how you bring it. Follow these tips to instantly upgrade your payout before you head to our yard:

  • Separate Your Metals: Never mix clean aluminum with dirty or attached metals like iron screws or plastic handles. Sorting your pile beforehand ensures you get the premium rate for the pure stuff.
  • Clean and Strip: Remove insulation from aluminum wires and wipe down heavy grease or oil coatings. Clean metal always commands a much higher market price.
  • Bulk Up Your Load: Small trips cost fuel. Accumulate a larger haul before visiting us to maximize your overall profit margin per trip.

And this is how you can get a much better, higher and much more satisfactory price for your scrap with just a wink of an effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about aluminum scrap recycling, pricing, and pickup.
