Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get paid for dropping off scrap metal at Alter North Platte?

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 at the current commodity rate.

Does Alter Metal Recycling North Platte accept appliances?

Yes. The yard purchases major appliances — washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters — as scrap metal. Freon-containing units such as refrigerators and air conditioners may require freon removal before acceptance; call (308) 532-4544 to confirm current policy.

What should I do before dropping off scrap metal?

Sort metals by type if possible — clean separation (aluminum separate from steel, copper from brass) typically results in better pricing. Remove non-metal components where practical. For large commercial loads or vehicle drop-off, call ahead to confirm current procedures.
