The Drap and La Trinité areas account for a significant proportion of the craft industry in the Nice region. Among the most widely used materials, aluminum plays a key role in the manufacture of windows, gates and industrial structures. For aluminum carpenters based in the Vallée du Paillon industrial zone, off-cuts represent sleeping capital. At the Sclavo Eco-Relais in Pont de Peille (Route du Borgheas), we’ve set up a purchasing counter specializing in buying back aluminum at the best prices.

Aluminium: A strategic metal bought at a high price in Drap

Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal whose value is indexed to the LME (London Metal Exchange). Its lightness and strength make it a material of choice.

  • Profiled Aluminium (New): Carpentry offcuts without any impurities. This is the most expensive aluminum because it’s ready for direct remelting.
  • Aluminium de Dépose (Old) : Windows with thermal breaks (plastic bars). Even with impurities, this aluminum retains a high redeeming value.
  • Foundry aluminum: engine housings, car rims or machine tool parts.

Why sell metals in Drap rather than elsewhere?

For businesses in 06340, the Sclavo Eco-Relais offers unbeatable advantages:

  1. Transparent weighing: All our scales are certified. You can see the weight in real time and receive a forgery-proof weighing ticket.
  2. Prompt payment: In accordance with the law, we pay by cheque or bank transfer to ensure full traceability.
  3. Nuance analysis: Thanks to our spectrometer guns, we can precisely identify the purity of your aluminum and offer you the fairest price.

How to optimize your Pont de Peille aluminum buyback

To increase your earnings when you visit our counter:

  • Separate the iron from the aluminum: A batch of aluminum containing iron screws will be downgraded. Take the time to remove steel accessories.
  • Clean your profiles: Remove rubber gaskets and glass. Clean aluminum pays better.
  • Bring volume: We buy back from one kilo upwards, but prices are degressive according to tonnage for professionals in the Vallée du Paillon.
