Modesto's Premier Aluminum Recycling Facility
Aluminum is one of the most widely used and endlessly recyclable metals around, found in everything from cans and siding to wheels, gutters, and machined stock. Because it can be melted down and reused again and again without losing quality, it holds real value at the scale. We've been buying every grade of aluminum for over a century, paying competitive prices and making drop-off quick and easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about recycling, accepted materials, pricing, or how the process works? Find quick answers to help make your visit easy and hassle-free.
What types of aluminum do you buy?
We buy just about every grade, from clean sheet, siding, and extrusions to cast aluminum, rims, wire, turnings, and irony aluminum. If you’re not sure what you have, bring it in and our team will identify and grade it for you.
Is clean aluminum worth more than dirty or irony aluminum?
Yes. Clean aluminum that’s free of steel, plastic, or other attachments usually earns the best price. Dirty or irony aluminum is still welcome, it just grades a little differently based on what’s mixed in.
Do I need to strip coated aluminum wire before bringing it in?
You don’t have to. We accept both bare and coated aluminum wire. Bare wire typically pays more, so strip it if it’s worth your time, but either way we’ll weigh it and pay you fairly.
Do you accept aluminum cans?
We do. Cans can come in loose or bagged, and you don’t need to clean them first. Just bring them by and we’ll weigh them in with the rest of your load.
How do you price aluminum?
We pay competitive market prices based on the current value of each grade, so rates can change from day to day. Your load is weighed on-site and paid in cash before you leave, with no hidden fees.
Do you take aluminum that still has steel attached, like radiators or rims?
Yes. Items like aluminum-copper coils, radiators, and rims are common, and our team knows how to grade mixed pieces so you get a fair payout for the aluminum content.
