Aluminum scrap in Arkansas
Arkansas yards that buy aluminum draw most of their supply from food processing, paper and forestry, and steel. Yards price aluminum by grade: Aluminum (Mixed), Aluminum Cans, and Aluminum Extrusion. Keep Aluminum Extrusion apart from Aluminum (Mixed) and mixed loads, because a mixed pile is paid at the lowest grade in it. Across Arkansas, dozens of yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in Little Rock, Van Buren, and Fayetteville. Southeast mills and Gulf and Atlantic ports give Arkansas yards short shipping legs to the buyers of rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Arkansas yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
