What We Recycle?

Dross - oxidized particles that form on the surface of molten metal (solder). This material can be skimmed off and reclaimed.

Pot Dumpings - generated primarily by wave soldering or pre-tinning operations. When metallic impurities in the solder reach the critical level where problems such as dull or grainy joints appear, the pot is dumped and recharged with the fresh solder.

Anode Butts - the portions of the anodes remaining after they have been effectively consumed by an electroplating operation. Since there is little contamination of the alloy, high metallic return can be expected in the recycling process.

Precious Metals - we have the capability to reclaim gold and silver from various types of metallic material through our state-of-the-art electrolytic refineries.

Circuit Boards - new legislation seeks to ban the disposal of printed circuit boards in landfills. Alpha/Fry Reclamation provides an environmentally safe and legal reclamation program for both gold bearing and solder masked-copper boards. While more costly to recycle, boards containing precious metals often yield high return.

Radiator drips, lead scrap and other scrap alloys such as tin/bismuth, and lead/bismuth can also be recycled.

Containers - Alpha/Fry can provide containers for the collection of your scrap metal.

Samples - Scrap samples can be sent to our on-site laboratories for a metal assay with prompt results and quotes.

Shipments - For shipping arrangements, our Traffic Department can assist you with freight logistics and costs.
