Altech Recycling
Recycling Center in North Little Rock, Arkansas
About This Location
Altech Recycling at 2601 Central Airport Rd in North Little Rock is an industrial metals-separation plant, not a household or walk-in recycling drop-off. Formed by Alter Trading Corp. of St. Louis with Toyota Tsusho America, the roughly 10-acre facility processes post-shredder mixed metals (known as Zorba) into clean aluminum (Twitch) and other secondary metal products for recyclers. It is not set up to take recyclables from the public, and several business directories now list the location as permanently closed, so confirm its status before relying on it.
Status Update
This location appears to be closed. Multiple business listings (e.g. MapQuest) report the facility as permanently closed. Status not confirmed via an official Altech/Alter Trading page in this session; treat as closed/unverified.

Can the public drop off recycling at Altech Recycling in North Little Rock?
No. Altech is an industrial metals-separation plant that processes post-shredder metal for the recycling industry, not a public or household drop-off. In addition, business listings report the location as permanently closed.
What does Altech Recycling actually do?
The plant takes post-shredder mixed metals called Zorba and separates them into a clean aluminum product called Twitch plus secondary 'heavies.' It is a processing operation for Alter Trading and partners, not a scrap buyer for the general public.
Is Altech Recycling still open?

Where can I recycle in Little Rock / North Little Rock instead?
Use the City of North Little Rock's curbside and drop-off recycling programs or Pulaski County options for household recyclables, since Altech does not serve the public.
Does Altech buy scrap metal from individuals?
No evidence was found that Altech buys scrap from walk-in individuals. It processes material supplied by Alter and other shredder companies. For selling personal scrap, use a public scrap yard instead.
