Aluminum is a soft, silvery-white metal. It is not only the most abundant metal in the earth's crust but the third most plentiful metallic element behind oxygen and silicon. Aluminum is the most extensively utilized nonferrous metal. Though its compounds are found in everything from rocks to animals to vegetation, it is never in the metallic form you've come to know.

Speaking about the decker lane location.
I have nothing but good things to say about the entire staff, they are are always helpful and informative. Scott runs a great crew, Stretch (jim) is an extremely knowledgeable person who is always teaching me new things about the scrap business. The labor force in the field are always courteous and willing to help. I've got almost 20 years selling to these guys and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

I only went here b/c my husband scraps sometimes. The process of bring scrap metals and other random electrics and appliances is fairly quick. I don't how they come up as to how much they will pay for these scraps, but after 3 wash machines and other scraps, my hubby made roughly $8-$9 which is odd to me b/c the same machines and parts sell for $100's if not $1000's of dollars and to get pennies on the dollar back is odd to me, but what do I know? Scraping is the hubby's thing, not mine.

Friendly enough guys, no issue with that. My issues is their scale which ripped me off by approximately 850lbs. As can plainly be seen on this spec sheet, the item I brought weighed 2700lbs unladen. Including all the spits, utility rack and BBQ grill, all stainless it should have come to approx 3200lbs. Their scale put me at 2370, obviously a ripoff. I questioned this and they actually said it was due to the mud on my tires. And to think I actually accepted the reduction from .30 to .20 per lb thinking they would be fair with the weight. Boy was I wrong

Took 38lb metal (door nobs and door locks) to Austin Metal & Iron Co LP North HWY 290 location and received $1.08. I am told metal does not worth anything, and it does not worth their time to take my metal to the pill.
For $0.03 per lb, unless you have 1000lbs, I do not think it worth you time to bring it to them. Better put it in city recycle bin and save yourself the time, gas and toll.

I'm a big fan of recycling but I'm used to the self-service machines where you deposit one thing at a time. I couldn't find any of those nearby so I found this place after saving up about a month and a half of aluminum cans. Three commercial sized garbage bags later and the entire trip was worth $4. It's also incredibly difficult to find where to pull in and deposit the cans. They do have signs that tell you where to Portland for a scale but it doesn't say anything about aluminum cans. The scale itself is built into the ground with no signage around it at all, I had to

This past week was bulk trash, and as I prepared some large metal items to go out by the curb I remembered that I always have people come by in pickup trucks grabbing the metal items and hauling them away. I figured that they likely take them somewhere to sell, so I investigated to find a nearby scrap yard. Austin Metal & Iron turned out to be near where I work, so I loaded up the metal items into the back of the mini-van and during lunch time drove out to see what was what. The guys working there were nice and helpful and directed me to the right scale where they weighed my items. I got about
