About This Location

Alter Metal Recycling at 2828 N 11th St is Omaha's branch of Alter Trading, a scrap-metal recycler and broker founded in 1898. It is a buyer's yard: you bring in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, catalytic converters, and electronic scrap, and the yard pays based on current market prices. This is a commercial scrap operation rather than a municipal household-recycling drop-off, so it is most useful for selling metal, old appliances, and vehicles — not for everyday curbside recyclables like plastics or glass.

What Alter Metal Recycling - Omaha Accepts

✓ Ferrous metals (Iron and steel scrap)
✓ Non-ferrous metals (Aluminum, copper, brass and similar)
✓ Catalytic converters
✓ E-scrap (Electronic scrap accepted)
