Take your aluminium step ladders to a scrap metal yard and get paid cash for them. Aluminium is a valuable recyclable material that can be reused indefinitely. The atomic structure of aluminium does not change during the melting process. This means that the metal is not consumed so the recycling process requires less energy than the production process. Consequently, recycling aluminium is more productive and cost efficient than producing it. Some cities provide kerbside recycling services or you can drop aluminium step ladders off at recycling centres. Recycling aluminium is a smart choice no matter how you do it.
