Tamworth Aluminium Scrap
Aluminium might be light, but it can stack up fast—especially after a reno, a cleanup or a workshop sort-out. At Mick's Rural Scrap & Car Collection, we help you turn your aluminium scrap into easy cash throughout Tamworth.
From window frames and ute trays to leftover sheeting and dismantled parts, we’ll collect it all and pay you fairly based on weight and condition. You don’t need to sort, clean or haul it anywhere—we’ll come to you, load it up and handle the rest.
Whether it’s a single item or a trailer load, we make aluminium recycling simple and worthwhile. Call us on

What You Can Recycle
Aluminium is one of the most commonly recycled metals in Australia, thanks to how easy it is to reuse and how widely it’s found. You’ll find it in window and door frames, irrigation pipe, roofing offcuts, ladders, furniture, car parts, fencing and even older household items.
Because it doesn’t rust, aluminium often sits around long after it's stopped being useful, taking up space without ever breaking down. Recycling it not only clears that space, but puts money in your hand and helps reduce waste in landfills.
Even if it’s dented, scratched, or a bit dirty, aluminium can still be recycled and paid for. We’ll take mixed batches or clean loads and handle the lifting for you.
What types of aluminium can be recycled?
Aluminium comes in many forms, and most of them can be recycled. Common examples include sheet aluminium, extruded aluminium (like window frames), cast aluminium (from engine parts or cookware), and foil or cans. While clean aluminium gets the best price, painted or mixed types are still accepted and processed separately.
Is there a difference in value between types of aluminium?
Yes. Clean, unpainted aluminium (like sheet or extrusions) typically fetches a higher price than painted, dirty or mixed types. Cast aluminium and old engine parts may contain other materials, which can slightly reduce their value. Sorting your scrap by type can help maximise the return, but it’s not required in most cases.
Can aluminium with screws or paint still be recycled?
Absolutely. Aluminium that has paint, rivets, screws or light contamination can still be recycled. However, it may be categorised as “mixed” or “dirty” aluminium, which can slightly affect the price per kilo. If you’re recycling large amounts, removing attachments can boost your return.
