Aluminum Scrap Processing in Cleveland, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Collinwood rail corridor and the East 152nd / St. Clair industrial belt and our scale sits on East 166th Street, so most Cleveland plants are a ten minute run from the dock.

Aluminum

What does aluminum scrap processing in Cleveland involve?

V-V Metals processes aluminum scrap by alloy family rather than as one commodity: 6061 and 2024 clips and solids, 7050 cast turnings, 356 slag, dross and spills, aluminum grindings and foil.

Cleveland still carries a dense mix of foundries, forge shops, wire mills and contract machining under one postal code, which means a single plant often generates copper, aluminium, stainless and residue streams in the same week. That is the practical reason we grade tightly instead of buying by the container.

Alloy identity drives aluminum value more than tonnage does. Mixing 6061 into a cast turnings box costs real money, so we set up separate containers per alloy at the machine and verify identity on receipt before a load is blended.

  • Aluminum grindings and machining fines

How It Works

What you get on a Cleveland account

Turnings are checked for free oil and fines content, dross and slag are sampled for recoverable metallic yield, and each alloy is settled against its own published index rather than a blanket mixed-aluminum price.

  • Alloy-segregated containers staged at the machine or the melt deck
  • Metallic-yield sampling on dross, slag and spill material before settlement
  • Free-oil and fines assessment on turnings so deductions are transparent
  • Bulk or scheduled pickup for high-volume extrusion and casting operations
  • Direct movement to secondary aluminum smelters and remelt operations

How is my aluminum load priced?

Turnings are checked for free oil and fines content, dross and slag are sampled for recoverable metallic yield, and each alloy is settled against its own published index rather than a blanket mixed-aluminum price. Alloy identity drives aluminum value more than tonnage does. Mixing 6061 into a cast turnings box costs real money, so we set up separate containers per alloy at the machine and verify identity on receipt before a load is blended.

Why sell aluminum scrap to V-V Metals instead of a local Cleveland yard?

Unlike many scrap companies, V-V Metals does not sell purchased material to other scrap dealer houses. Everything we buy goes directly to mills, foundries or smelters, so there is one margin between your dock and the end user instead of two or three. Material from Cleveland ships straight to secondary aluminum smelters and remelters, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on aluminum.
