About Alter Trading Corporation

Alter Trading Corporation handles scrap metal recycling out of La Crosse, Wisconsin, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. The directory entry shows a phone line and a website are on file, and day-to-day hours aren't posted in the directory. Both data points reflect what the yard has filed about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for how to reach the site before any drive over with a load. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
