Aluminum scrap in Arizona
Aluminum scrap in Arizona moves through yards that serve semiconductor manufacturing, mining, aerospace, and construction. The grades yards commonly quote are Aluminum (Mixed), Aluminum Cans, and Aluminum Extrusion; Aluminum Extrusion usually earns the top rate and Aluminum (Mixed) the lowest, so sorting before you arrive pays.

Demand from rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants in the Southwest and along the Gulf keeps aluminum moving through Arizona yards.

Frequently asked about aluminum in Arizona
What is the aluminum scrap price in Arizona today?

Which scrap yards in Arizona buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Arizona the largest number of buyers to compare are around Phoenix, Tucson, and Tempe. Call ahead to confirm which grades a yard takes and whether it is open for public drop-off.
How do I get the highest aluminum price in Arizona?
Clean material earns the top of the board: remove attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, separate Aluminum Extrusion from lower grades, and bring ID. Calling two or three Arizona yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Arizona yard?
Sorting is the single biggest lever: keep grades apart, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and avoid mixing in anything the yard has to hand-sort. Dry, clean loads weigh and price honestly.
Do I need ID to sell aluminum scrap in Arizona?
Scrap yards routinely ask for a government photo ID and record the sale, and state law often requires it for metal purchases. Bring ID, expect a photo of the load, and ask whether the yard pays cash or check.
