Eco-Friendly Metal Recycling
Committed to responsible recycling and a cleaner, greener Aurora.
At Aurora Metal Recycling, protecting the environment isn't just a tagline — it's the foundation of everything we do. Every pound of metal we recycle is a step toward a more sustainable community.
Why Metal Recycling Matters
Our Environmental Practices
- ♻️Responsible Processing
All metals we accept are sorted and processed responsibly. We ensure materials go to licensed smelters and mills where they are reprocessed into new steel, aluminum, and other products.
- 🚗Proper Vehicle Disposal
When we buy junk cars, we follow all Illinois regulations for draining fluids such as oil, coolant, brake fluid, and refrigerants before crushing. This prevents environmental contamination.
- 🏭Reducing Landfill Waste
Metal doesn't decompose. A junk car sitting in a field leaches fluids and rust into the soil for decades. By recycling vehicles properly, we remove that environmental hazard from our community.
- 🌱Local Community Impact
By choosing a local recycler like us, you reduce transportation emissions compared to sending scrap to distant facilities. We are embedded in Aurora and care about this city.
What You Can Do
The easiest eco-friendly action you can take today is to recycle your scrap metal instead of throwing it away. Old appliances, broken equipment, car parts, construction metal — all of it has value as a recycled material. Bring it to us and we'll pay you cash while keeping it out of the landfill.
Have a junk vehicle? Don't let it sit and rust. Every vehicle we remove is one less source of soil and groundwater contamination in our neighborhoods. We make it easy and pay you for it.
