Community-Centric
Alter Trading has a long legacy of charitable
giving and volunteerism in the communities where we operate. Our generosity
and community service lives on through the passion and commitment of our
employees who support and participate in neighborhood cleanups, food drives,
tree plantings and community building events.
Inspired by nature
Alter Trading has implemented comprehensive
measures to address scrap metal theft and radiation detection, including
enforcement of strict scrap acceptance policies at all of our facilities. We
have invested in significant IT infrastructure and built strong
relationships with our local communities and law enforcement in order to
prevent metal and report theft.
Environmentally Friendly
Alter Trading is always
making responsible investments in new technology to enhance the recovery of
ferrous and nonferrous metals and to recycle other valuable materials while
meeting customer quality needs, minimizing environmental impacts and
reducing our environmental footprint. As we look to the future,
sustainability and environmental compliance will remain central to our
business success, providing additional opportunities to maximize value from
scrap metal and other recyclables. Alter invests in advanced separation and
extraction technologies which capture more nonferrous metals from the
materials we process, reducing the waste we send to landfills while
enhancing the quality of the products we deliver to our customers.
Good for business
Alter Trading is constantly
adapting its services with enthusiasm to meet and exceed the needs of its
customer's goals and expectations. We never lose sight of high efficiency
and continuous improvements necessary to gain sustainable competitive
advantages in today's result-oriented environment.
We are one of the scrap industry's oldest and most technically advanced companies. Our state-of-the-art approach to buying, processing and recycling benefits you in two ways. It removes a heavily regulated recycling problem and keeps you in compliance along with providing a maximum return for your recyclables.

Recycling Just Makes Sense
Alter
has developed a comprehensive environmental program to manage risks
associated with environmental aspects of recycling scrap metal. To
standardize our systems and programs across our operating
facilities, in 2006, Alter implemented an Environmental Management
System ("EMS") based on a continuous improvement model. Our EMS was
certified to the internationally-recognized ISO 14001:2004 standard
in early 2007.
Alter Metal Recycling facilities actively support the communities they serve.
For example,
the Alter facility in Dubuque, Iowa has supported the following
organizations: Dubuque County Fair, Dubuque Fire Works, Festival of
Lights, Wild Turkey Federation, High School Hockey.
Alters Acceptable & Non-Acceptable Items
Our
page outlines materials that are not accepted at Alter facilities
and materials that may be accepted if certain conditions are met.
This list is not intended to be comprehensive. Common sense and best
judgment will be used to determine which materials can be managed in
a safe and responsible manner that minimizes risk and potential
liabilities for all parties.
Alter Fuel Accelerator (Surcharge) Program
Fuel
is one of the few expenses you as a Contract Carrier have very
little control over. When diesel fuel prices are high it negatively
impacts all of us. In an effort to help all Contract Carriers, Alter
is willing reduce your risk of high fuel prices. Starting in
February of 2016 Alter will be rolling out a new fuel surcharge
program that will be a simple, transparent process which provides a
mechanism to deal with variations in fuel cost.
