Sell scrap aluminum, brass & stainless in Birmingham

Aluminum cans and rims, yellow brass, ACR and 304 stainless. Keep them separate and get paid for each.

These non-ferrous metals pay well on their own and lose value fast when they're mixed with steel or each other. Keep them in separate bins.

Aluminum

Aluminum Cans

Clean beverage cans. Crushing is fine. Keep trash, liquids and steel cans out.

Aluminum

Aluminum Rims

Car and truck aluminum wheels. Pull tires, weights and valve stems for the best grade.

Aluminum

Aluminum Scrap, #3 & Breakage

Cast, sheet and mixed aluminum, including aluminum with some attachments.

Aluminum / copper

ACR & ACR Ends

Copper-aluminum radiators from AC condensers, plus cut-off ends. Clean ACR pays more than ACR with steel brackets attached.

Brass

Yellow Brass & Brass Scrap

Plumbing fittings, valves, faucets, keys and fixtures. Brass is heavy and yellow, and a magnet won't stick to it.

Stainless

304 & Stainless Steel

Sinks, food-service equipment, tanks and fasteners. Most 304 stainless won't hold a magnet.

The magnet test

If a magnet sticks firmly, it's steel and belongs in the ferrous pile. Aluminum, brass, copper and most 304 stainless won't hold a magnet. Thirty seconds of testing can keep a good load from getting downgraded.

Common questions

Do you buy aluminum cans?

Yes. We buy aluminum cans along with aluminum rims, aluminum scrap and other aluminum grades.

Do I need to separate my metals?

You don't have to, but you'll get paid more if you do. Mixed loads are usually graded at the value of the lowest material in the pile. Keep copper, brass, aluminum and steel apart and you'll get the full value for each.

How do I find out today's scrap metal prices?

Scrap prices follow the commodity markets and move often, so the best way to get an accurate number is to call us at 205-224-4044 and tell us what you have. The grade and condition of your material make a big difference in what it's worth.

Scrap prices move daily.

Call before you load up and we'll give you today's number for your material. Tell us what it is and roughly how much you have.
