Benefits of Recycling Aluminium
Aluminium is one of the most efficient materials to recycle, and the environmental case for doing so is hard to ignore.
Producing new aluminium from raw bauxite ore is an energy-intensive process, while recycled aluminium can be melted down and reused again and again without losing any of its quality or strength.
- Uses up to 95% less energy than producing new aluminium from ore
- Can be recycled indefinitely without any loss in quality
- Reduces the need for environmentally destructive bauxite mining
- Cuts greenhouse gas emissions associated with primary aluminium production
- Turns everyday scrap, from cans to window frames, into genuine cash value
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does VIC Copper Recycling buy all types of aluminium?
Yes, we accept aluminium in almost any form, including cans, sheet, cast pieces, and extrusions. If you’re unsure whether an item qualifies, give our team a call before you make the trip.
Do I need to separate aluminium from other metals?
Separating your aluminium from other metals before you arrive will generally get you a better price, since mixed loads are often valued at the lower rate of the metals combined.
How is the price for scrap aluminium determined?
Aluminium is priced according to current market rates and the grade and cleanliness of the metal. Clean, sorted aluminium typically fetches a higher price than contaminated or mixed loads.
Can I bring in a large volume of aluminium for recycling?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a small bag of cans or a trailer load of sheet offcuts, our Melbourne yard can handle volumes of any size. For very large loads, contact us to discuss a collection.
