About Alter Trading Corp
Alter Trading Corp sits in Janesville, Wisconsin, with a focus on scrap metal recycling work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the team's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line and a website are on file. Day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
