- PSPeggy SpradlinNov 13, 20255.0Fantastic service!! Considering my hubby has been in the dumpster business for over 20 years.. I have meet a lot of people in the recycling and waste management and this place is a gem !!!
- HAHaily AdamsOct 18, 20251.0Very disappointed in the outside staff. This was our second time coming here and there's not really much of anything telling you where to go and some guy dressed in red came up to us holding his hands up asking what we were doing and very rude saying we were going the wrong way. Also getting you to back all the way up to the pile and risk getting screws in your tires is crazy. Most places get you to put it out and they push it up. Definitely not worth dealing with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Allied Scrap Processors Inc
Do you sell auto parts?
Our facility doesn't offer auto parts for sale. We specialize exclusively in metal recycling services.
Can I buy steel or other metal from your facility?
While we're actively involved in scrap metal recycling, we don't sell materials to the public. Our focus is on processing and recycling metals.
How many aluminum cans make a pound?
On average, it takes about 34 aluminum cans to make up one pound.
Do you buy appliances, such as whole air conditioners?
Yes, we accept all types of appliances for our scrap metal recycling process. The EPA reports a 59.8% recycling rate for appliance materials, including ferrous metals. Please note that refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners must be free of freon before we can accept them.
Are aluminum can tabs worth more than the aluminum cans?
The tabs don't have a higher value than the cans themselves. We recommend keeping the tabs attached to the cans when recycling.
Would I get more money if I break down my air conditioner?
Yes, breaking down your air conditioner can result in a higher payout as it simplifies our recycling process. We recommend separating the aluminum copper radiator, electric motor, and oil-free A/C compressor if you're willing to do so.
Do you buy whole vehicles?
We do purchase whole vehicles for recycling, subject to certain conditions. The title must be signed by the seller/owner, or you can contact us if there's no title. All fluids and gas should be drained, with a hole punched in the gas tank. The battery must be removed, though we'll buy it separately. Please reach out to us for more information on selling your vehicle for metal recycling.
Do you accept aluminum cans?
We do accept aluminum cans as part of our scrap metal recycling program. When bringing cans, it's best to leave the tabs attached as there's no additional benefit to removing them. All parts of the can are recycled together.
Will you come pick up appliances or scrap metal from my house?
We don't offer household pickup services. However, we'd be happy to provide a referral for someone who can assist you with this. Our shared goal is to ensure your materials are properly recycled, so please don't hesitate to call us for a recommendation.
