Aluminum scrap

Aluminum scrap can vary in quality depending on its source and the level of contamination. Clean aluminum scrap, such as pure aluminum sheets or untreated aluminum scrap, is considered the highest quality and is most valuable. However, mixed aluminum scrap that contains other materials (like plastic, paint, or other metals) may need to be cleaned or separated before recycling.
