Aluminum scrap in Indiana
Indiana yards that buy aluminum draw most of their supply from automotive manufacturing, steel, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. 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 Indiana list aluminum among what they buy, with the widest choice around Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. Because rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants are concentrated across the Midwest, Indiana yards rarely sit on aluminum for long. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Indiana yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.

Which scrap yards in Indiana buy aluminum?
Dozens of yards in Indiana list aluminum among the materials they buy; the yards on this page are the ones we have on record, with the largest concentration around Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. Confirm grades and hours before you drive.
How do I get the highest aluminum price in Indiana?
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 Indiana yards on the same day.
How should I prepare aluminum before selling it in Indiana?
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 Indiana?
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.
