Aluminum scrap in Florida

Aluminum scrap in Florida moves through yards that serve tourism, aerospace, agriculture, 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. Dozens of yards in Florida list aluminum among what they buy, with the widest choice around Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. Southeast mills and Gulf and Atlantic ports give Florida yards short shipping legs to the buyers of rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Florida yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

How should I prepare aluminum before selling it in Florida?

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.
