good friendly people .to get the best price for your scrap metal .make sure that any aluminum brass copper has no steel on it.no screws.fittings.if it does it is considered dirty and you will lose money. Take the time to clean up your recycling for the best price.

Straight up scumbags will try and give you less money anyway they can. Aluminum-irony is just a way they can give you less money for your aluminum by claiming it has a lot steel or iron in it. Just for reference aluminum is like 1.20 a lb while the aluminu-irony was only paid out at .20 all because some guy walked up and stuck a magnet to a screw and said look its magnetic.

Horrible place. Everyone there has a piss poor attitude. They look for any little way to screw you over. Scrap prices are way too low compared to others. I took hundreds of pounds of scrap aluminum. Because a very few pieces had some steel screws They claimed all of it as 50% aluminum and paid less than half price. I know for a fact all together it was 99% aluminum. Probably 99.9%
