Aluminum scrap in Connecticut
In Connecticut, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of aerospace and defense manufacturing, insurance, and pharmaceuticals. Expect separate prices for Aluminum (Mixed), Aluminum Cans, and Aluminum Extrusion. Clean, sorted Aluminum Extrusion sits at the top of the board while Aluminum (Mixed) is priced for the extra processing it needs. Across Connecticut, dozens of yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in New Haven, bridgeport, and Waterbury. The Northeast corridor of mills, refiners, and ports keeps downstream buyers close, which tends to hold Connecticut yard rates near the national benchmark. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Connecticut yards set their own rates around them based on volume, prep, and freight, so call ahead with your grade and weight for a firm quote.

Frequently asked about aluminum in Connecticut
What is the aluminum scrap price in Connecticut today?
The table above shows today's national average per grade, refreshed daily. Yards in Connecticut quote around those numbers depending on how much you bring, how clean it is, and what it costs them to ship onward.
Which scrap yards in Connecticut buy aluminum?
Dozens of yards in Connecticut list aluminum among the materials they buy; the yards on this page are the ones we have on record, with the largest concentration around New Haven, bridgeport, and Waterbury. Confirm grades and hours before you drive.
How do I get the highest aluminum price in Connecticut?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and keep Aluminum Extrusion separate from Aluminum (Mixed). Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Connecticut yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Connecticut yard?
Separate grades, remove attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and keep loads dry. Yards pay for the grade they can see, so mixed or dirty material is priced at the lowest grade in the pile.
Do I need ID to sell aluminum scrap in Connecticut?
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.
