Brothers Recycling

1620 Vanderbuilt Road, Birmingham, Alabama, United States

Brothers Recycling is a family owned and operated business in Birmingham, Alabama since 2004. We originally opened in 1964 as H.S. Metals. We provide a number of services for scrap dealers, industrial accounts and even the public. Brothers Recycling has a fleet of trucks to handle over 100 roll-off containers and trailers. We also have the ability to provide dump-hoppers, pallets and boxes to help with your recycling needs. This is all provided as a free service for our customers. Our goal is to build a long, loyal and trusting relationship with all of our customers. We appreciate the time and opportunity to bid on your scrap metal. We look forward to earning your business.

In 1992, we had a customer from Clanton, Alabama check their daughter into Children’s Hospital in Birmingham. The Ronald McDonald House let the parents live in the house for six months. Unfortunately, their daughter died in the hospital at the age of 17 from leukemia. What could we do to pay back to the house for the services they provide to families in time of need? So Brothers Took over their Alum Pop Tab recycling program which is still thriving today! Brothers’ recycling also is a proud sponsor of Mitchell’s Place. A local learning center and school for children with autism

CRIME STOPPERS

Law enforcement officers everywhere are being inundated with reports of metal thefts. Brothers Recycling is working with lawmakers to bring these criminals to justice. As of 2011, Brothers Recycling is a part of a revolutionary reporting system known as Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers helps law enforcement officers locate criminals responsible for stealing metal. Crime Stoppers provides law enforcement officers with a fast and easy way to view crime reports on the Internet, which allows officers to gain access to crime reports within seconds. In the state of Alabama there is a new state law which targets thieves and the people who buy stolen merchandise. The statute Act 2007-451 took effect September 1st, 2010.

Act 2007-451 requires that metal buying companies can only buy metal from people with a valid government ID. In conjunction with the new law everyone who sells metal has to sign a statement confirming the metal being bought is in fact the seller’s property and it is not stolen metal. Furthermore, metal buying businesses must keep a written purchase log of what and how much is purchased from each customer. Act 2007-451 also restricts metal buying companies from paying cash for purchases over $1,000, as these purchases now must be completed by check.  Under the law, anyone who sells stolen metal to a recycler faces a Class A misdemeanor unless it’s worth more than 250 dollars. The crime then becomes a Class C felony.

MATERIALS

Iron: It is reduced on an enormous scale in three principal forms; viz., cast iron, steel, and wrought iron. Iron usually appears dark brown, from oxidation or impurity, but when pure, or on a fresh surface, is a gray or white metal. It is easily oxidized (rusted) by moisture, and is attacked by many corrosive agents. Symbol Fe (Latin Ferrum). Atomic weight 55.9. Specific gravity, pure iron, 7.86; cast iron, 7.1. In magnetic properties, it is superior to all other substances.
Aluminum Beverage Cans:Not only is recycling good for the environment, but you can make money doing it as well. Whether it’s collecting cans or selling your old cell phone, there are plenty of ways you can make money by recycling. Some methods are easier than others, but with some effort, you can make a nice profit by recycling a few valuable items.
Copper: A reddish-brown, ductile, malleable metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is widely used for electrical wires, water pipes, and rust-resistant parts, either in its pure form or in alloys such as brass and bronze. Atomic number 29; atomic weight 63.546; melting point 1,083°C; boiling point 2,595°C; specific gravity 8.96; valence 1, 2.
 
Brass: Yellow Brass is much different than regular brass in both the scrap price and the way it looks. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, the more yellow the color of the brass, the more zinc there is mixed in. Check the scrap price of Yellow Brass with your local scrap yard and they will be able to give you an estimate. Some scrap yards however do not pay a different price for different types of brass, simply because they do not bring in enough quantity to segregate it. Also be sure to keep your yellow brass separate from other brass and scrap metals to get the best pricing for scrap metals.
 
Steel: A generally hard, strong, durable, malleable alloy of iron and carbon, usually containing between 0.2 and 1.5 percent carbon, often with other constituents such as manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper, tungsten, cobalt, or silicon, depending on the desired alloy properties, and widely used as a structural material.
 
Aluminum: A lightweight, silvery-white ductile, malleable, metallic element in group IIIA of the periodic table.  It is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust (8%), but found only in combination, chiefly in bau­xite but also as cryoli­te, fel­dspar, cl­ay, and many other minerals. Aluminum (British: “aluminium”) is widely used for aircraft parts, engines, window frames, pans, drinks cans, kegs, cooking foil, etc., and to form many hard, light, corr­osion-resistant allo­ys. Its name comes from alumen, the Latin name for the mineral alum
