How to Recycle an Aluminum Radiator
Aluminum car radiators can be melted down to be re-formed into a variety of new aluminum products. Aluminum, including aluminum in the form of a radiator, is classified as scrap metal, and you may be able to sell it to a scrap metal recycling center in your area. The value of an aluminum radiator as scrap depends on the purity of the metal, which can be determined by examining its strength, texture and hardness, and the current market price of aluminum.
