Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get paid for dropping off scrap metal at Alter Grand Island?

Yes. Alter Metal Recycling pays market-rate prices by weight for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Bring your material, it gets weighed on-site, and you receive payment.

Can I drop off a whole junk car?

Alter Trading locations typically purchase end-of-life vehicles. Call (308) 381-0600 before bringing a vehicle to confirm current procedures and pricing at the Grand Island yard.

What should I do before dropping off metal?

Sort your metals by type (aluminum, copper, steel, etc.) if possible — clean separation typically results in better pricing. Remove non-metal components where practical. Call ahead for large commercial loads.
