Sell your UBC and tin can bales
UBC is the highest-value bale on your floor, which makes who you sell it to a decision worth getting right. 296 metal loads a year, 43 suppliers, 21 states — placed directly with mills and detinners.
Tell us what you have
A trader reviews it and comes back to you.
A trader reads this, not an autoresponder. Commercial terms are confirmed in writing after review.
Metals we buy
Aluminum moves against the LME and steel against the mill market. Both are quoted per load, never off a published sheet.
Why suppliers stay with us
You get a trader, not a portal
One person who knows your material, your plant and what you shipped last month. No bidding platform, no ticket queue, no re-explaining your spec every time.
Freight is our problem, not yours
We arrange the truck in-house and quote it per move. You are not chasing carriers or eating a deadhead because a load ran late.
We have been doing this since 2011
Over 510,000 tons moved. The relationships that place your material took fifteen years to build and they are the reason a load finds a home in a soft market.
We buy loads that are already built
You bale it, we move it. We are not asking you to change your process, sort differently, or hold material while we find someone.
How it works
Four steps. No portal, no bidding platform, no ticket queue.
Tell us what you have
Grade, rough volume, location. Photos help but are not required.
A trader reviews it
A person looks at it and tells you honestly whether it moves and where.
We confirm in writing
Commercial terms are put in writing before anything ships.
We handle the freight
Truck is arranged in-house and quoted per move.
What people usually ask first
Almost nobody’s is. Grade is a spectrum, not a pass/fail — send photos and we will tell you which grade it lands in and whether it moves, rather than quoting you for material you do not actually have.
Most of our suppliers did. Being the second call costs you nothing — when your usual outlet is full, on downtime, or quiet on a grade, having somewhere else to put a load is the whole point.
If you build full truckloads, you are the right size. We work with county programs and single-plant operators alongside national haulers.
Terms are agreed in writing before material moves, and we carry trade credit insurance on our receivables. Ask and we will walk you through exactly how a load settles.
Questions we get asked
How is UBC priced?
Against the aluminum market, per load, confirmed in writing. Moisture and consistency both move the number, which is why nobody credible publishes a flat UBC rate.
Does moisture really matter that much?
Yes. UBC is bought on metal content, so water is weight you get paid for once and penalized for twice. It is the most common avoidable deduction on a UBC load.
Do you buy tin separately?
Yes. Tin and steel are their own grade and go to detinners and EAF mills, which is a different buyer set than aluminum.
Can you reach export markets?
Sometimes, and it depends on your location and the material. Port proximity matters. Ask and we will tell you whether it applies to you.
How fast does a metals load settle?
Terms are agreed in writing before the load moves. Ask us to walk you through settlement on a specific grade.
Do you handle the freight?
Yes, arranged in-house and quoted per move.
