How to prepare your aluminium scrap
- Separate aluminium from iron — a magnet sticks to iron but not to aluminium.
- Knock out remains of glass, rubber or wood from frames where you can.
- Gather pieces in one place so the driver can weigh everything in one go.
What we never take
- Medical or clinical waste of any kind.
- Food waste, or anything soaked in food, oil, chemicals or sewage.
- Anything the seller cannot say where it came from.
- Wet, mouldy or oily cartons. Keep your board dry and off the ground.
- Anything still holding chemicals, fuel or paint, even an empty-looking drum.
- Anything sharp, broken or unsafe for the driver to lift by hand.
Common questions
How do I know if my scrap is aluminium?
Use a magnet: it will NOT stick to aluminium. Aluminium is also light for its size and does not rust brown. Pots, window frames and sheets are the most common aluminium scrap.
