ALTER METAL RECYCLING

A WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SCRAP METAL RECYCLING IN THE HEART OF AMERICA'S COMMUNITIES

Founded in 1898, today Alter - a privately owned, fourth generation company - is one of the largest scrap processors in the country, with trading offices and processing plants across the central United States. Alter Trading provides a direct supply of quality products, sourced both in America and abroad, to consumers in the United States and throughout the world.

And while over the course of our history, we've moved from horse-drawn equipment to equipment of thousands of horsepower, our basic mission has not changed:

How Alter Minimizes Scrap Metal Theft:
Alter Metal Recycling, a member of ISRI, (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc.) is minimizing the risk of purchasing stolen scrap metal and supports attempts to stem the tide of material theft. Alter fully cooperates with local law enforcement agencies and have company policies in place based on ISRI suggestions.
