Recycling Aluminum: Cans, Wheels, and Extrusions

Aluminum is versatile. Cast aluminum (engine blocks, BBQ grills) is brittle and poured into molds. Extruded aluminum (window frames) is pushed through dies and is generally cleaner. Aluminum wheels are a specific high-value category, provided the lead wheel-weights and rubber valve stems are removed.

Outscene Global processes tons of aluminum daily, providing free collection bins for manufacturing plants to keep different aluminum grades separated at the source.
