Frequently Asked Questions

Our freight capabilities include over 20 company vehicles, from sprinter vans to tractor-trailer trucks, which allows us to handle small and large volumes of materials. Our staff works around the clock, reflecting on our commitment to please our customers continuously. We have dozens of employees in our NY location available to pick up converters in all states across the East Coast as well as to accept incoming converter loads at our warehouse.

Converter values are determined by the quantities of precious metals they contain. We price converters based on the fluctuations in the commodities market.

We have our laboratory in Kenbridge, VA, where we process catalytic converters individually to measure contents. No two converters are the same; mileage on a vehicle, type, model, and manufacturing year also affect the value of the contents in a converter. In addition, we send our converters for assays. Assays allow for the converters to go through a refining process to determine an average value. Prices are further based on these averages.

If you are interested in establishing business, you can contact our catalytic converter department by calling (855) 740-0030 and requesting a price list. We will promptly fax or e-mail you our price list based on today’s market.

On average, customers who begin doing business with us earn an additional 5%-30% due to our grading. Should you still be uncertain or unfamiliar with our grading, we would be glad to come and grade your converters to provide you with a quote and to show you our grading.

Alpha Recycling works on a system based on Volume. Unlike most buyers on the market today who downgrade converters to make a profit, Alpha works on a small profit margin. Being that we work on volume, customer satisfaction is our number one priority; we do not want to lose customers, and so we provide the most honest grading at the best prices. Our buyers do not receive a commission based on individual pieces, only based on the quantity of cats, eliminating the need to downgrade converters for a quick profit. We develop long-term relationships with companies with which we do business.
