Most consumer metal products are alloyed to match an industry precision that defines hardness, texture and strength. The alloy varies from product to product. Although you’ll find hundreds of different aluminium products, less than 50 common recycling terms exist. Purity and demand will determine the price given for each aluminium product. Aluminium recycling provides many environmental, economic and community benefits to individuals, communities, organizations, companies and industries.

ASCR (Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced) conductor is used for river crossings, overhead and ground wire installations or also used just as a ground wire.

Casting and old sheets containing more than 25% foreign material are divided into low recovery.  This item is commonly found in aluminium engines and transmission parts but also used in other products.

Common to be a 7000 series with zinc as the principal alloying element. You may find some truck bumpers to be a 5052 alloy with magnesium being the principal alloying element.

Typical used as beverage and food cans.

Old Cast or Cast Aluminum scrap is generally found from engine blocks, cast grills and other car parts. It must be clean in the sense that it must be free of steel or rubber attachments.

A very common mix of 1100, 3003, 3004, 5005, 5052, 6061 and 6063. This mixture of alloys may also be found with aluminium MLC. This is can be familiarized as an aluminium product with a sheet like appearance, free of any foreign elements.

Old Sheet aluminum is thin aluminum materials below the grades of siding or MLC. This material must be clean and free from iron, plastic, rubber, or other attachments. Some examples of old sheet aluminum are construction aluminum sheeting, old pots and pans, camper tops,  ice cube trays, clean aluminum foil, aluminum lawn chairs and aluminum contaminated with other aluminum elements.

Aluminum Litho Sheet Scrap shall consist of new, clean lithograph sheets. It may consist of 1000 or 3000 series alloys, but must be free of paper, plastic, excessively inked sheets and any other contaminants.

Aluminium extrusions will commonly be found in the alloys of 6061 and 6063. Using magnesium and silicon in various proportions to form magnesium silicon thus, creating a heat treatable aluminium alloy with durable strength. Common uses include ladders, window frames, and screen doors. Aluminium Foil This familiar household product is also recyclable and like a beverage can this is also 1100 alloy but because of the thinness not all of the aluminium is recovered in the smelting process, dramatically affecting the price of this material.

This is commonly used in printing shops and usually has better value over other aluminium. The alloy is either 1100 or 3003 but most likely 3003. Manganese is the major alloying element.

As with clips this is a very common mix of 1100, 3003, 3004, 5005, 5052, 6061 and 6063. Unlike clips, MLC is usually the thick solids instead of the thin clean sheets. MLC is the initials for mixed low copper.

Aluminium Painted Sheet is aluminium that has been contaminated with paint will be bought in this category unless the paint is unusually thick or contains other foreign material, then the material will have to be downgraded.  Common items include household aluminium, roofing, van trailers, road and highway signs, down spigots and gutters.

You will find an aluminium radiator in most modern cars. These are purchased for recycling with or without the plastic ends, of course increasing the value by removing the plastic.

Usually a 356 alloy and found on most modern cars.

Bond Thermo bond is usually bonded by two pieces of extrusion with a thermo adhesive, creating a better insulation around windows and doors. This type of material must be kept separated from other extrusions.

Turnings or shavings are usually found at machine shops and left after drilling holes into a block or sheet of aluminium. These turnings have less value than aluminium sheet because recovery is less in the smelting processes and also more likely to be contaminated with oil used for cooling the drilling tools.
