Aluminum cans are the real success story of the recycling movement. By far, the most valuable component in the consumer waste stream, they enjoy the greatest public recognition as a recycled household item. With historical values from $.35 to $.75 US per pound ($775 to $1,655 US per Metric Ton) aluminum cans are often the economic backbone of municipal and private recycling programs. The price can fluctuate with the commodity price for new aluminum, but aluminum can scrap has always had a strong price in comparison to other recyclables.

We purchase trailerloads (15-22 tons) of aluminum cans and can provide pick up service anywhere in North America. We also import cans into the US east coast ports of New York and Baltimore. Because cans are remade back into can sheet, the US market is normally the highest, and we rarely export clean aluminum can scrap. We purchase the standard ISRI packages of aluminum UBC (Taldack, Taldon, Taldork) in mill quality bales, densified or bricked.

We also purchase smaller loads, non-mill spec and loose cans at our Piscataway, New Jersey facility.

The price of aluminum cans varies daily with the price of primary aluminum. There are also some variations in price due to the freight. Please contact us at (203) 268-5909 for a current quote.
