Yes, die-cast metal, including aluminum, is worth recycling. Aluminum is highly recyclable, retaining most of its properties without degradation, and recycling it saves about 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum from ore. Die-cast aluminum, commonly used in automotive parts, electronics, and appliances, has a high scrap value due to its purity and demand in industries. Recycling also reduces landfill waste and environmental impact from mining. The value depends on market prices, but aluminum scrap typically fetches $0.50–$1.00 per pound (as of recent trends). Other die-cast metals like zinc or magnesium are also recyclable, though their value varies.
