Don’t dump used aluminum, brass and copper materials at the landfill. Instead, recycle them and get paid for doing so.

Here are some tips on how to maximize the value of your material:

• Save until you get a large load. We pay by the pound and we do offer volume pricing.



• Quality is the primary factor in determining scrap value. Attachments (hinges, brackets, nails, screws, handles, etc.) can cause contamination and must be removed.



• Other sources of contamination include insulation, caulk, dirt and tar.
  
  
• Scrap separation is another way to increase your revenue. For example, painted siding is worth more than mixed aluminum of various grades.

We will lend you one of our can flatteners, set it up, demonstrate its operation, and arrange for trailer pick up service. All at no cost to you.

Add up these advantages when comparing the prices for flattened cans to bales and biscuits.

1. You will realize operational cost savings on every pound processed.



2. There is no capital cost. Wise Recycling provides the equipment which is simple to operate.



3. Cans are blown directly into a trailer:
   • There is no need to buy bale wire or banding material.
   • No labor costs to stack, store, and load a finished product.
   • No mobile equipment is required, saving fuel and maintenance costs
   • No inside storage space is required, saving valuable floor space while reducing insects and smell.
   
   
4. Improved cash flow. Flattened can loads are lighter, meaning more frequent pickups and payments. Our goal is to issue payment for each trailer within two business days of pick-up.
5. Workers compensation costs may be lower as a result of less exposure to injury.
6. Wise Recycling provides spare parts, maintenance, and annual overhauls at no cost.
7. Wise Recycling provides pick up service using our own drivers who are prompt and courteous. They are thoroughly familiar with our equipment and will inspect it and make adjustments if needed.
8. Existing equipment (if applicable) can be used to process other material thus improving throughput.
9. Electrical cost reduced up to an estimated 75%.
10. Custom installation does not require dock space.
11. No long term contract -- just our long-term commitment to provide you with competitive pricing and superior service.

Note: liability insurance is required.
