AluminiumScrap.com.au is an independent information resource built to help people understand the different types of aluminium scrap, including cast, extruded, sheet, cans, wheels and mixed offcuts, how to tell them apart, how to keep them clean and how to sort them for a better price.
Why We Built This
Most people throw all their aluminium in one pile, and buyers price it as the cheapest thing in it. We built this site to explain the main kinds of aluminium scrap, how to tell them apart without special equipment and how a little sorting pays for itself.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
AluminiumScrap.com.au is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on aluminium types and sorting, ScrapTrade is where sorted aluminium becomes offers from verified buyers, with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
A little sorting goes a long way with aluminium. ScrapTrade connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
