Aluminum Cans market context — New York

The New York market for Aluminum Cans is shaped by the state's economic mix of finance, healthcare, technology, and ports and shipping. Regionally, the dense Northeast corridor of mills, refiners, and ports keeps downstream demand close, which usually keeps yard pay tighter to the spot benchmark. The largest pocket of yards taking Aluminum Cans sits in Buffalo. Posted rates inside the state move with end-use demand for beverage and food packaging, and yard-to-yard spreads reflect each yard's volume and where it ships its sorted material. Calling ahead to confirm the rate and that the yard is buying the grade you have is always worth the minute it takes.
