Aluminum scrap in Louisiana
Aluminum scrap in Louisiana moves through yards that serve petrochemicals, oil and gas, ports and shipping, and seafood. 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. Dozens of yards in Louisiana list aluminum among what they buy, with the widest choice around Abbeville, New Orleans, and Shreveport. Southeast mills and Gulf and Atlantic ports give Louisiana yards short shipping legs to the buyers of rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants.

Frequently asked about aluminum in Louisiana
What is the aluminum scrap price in Louisiana today?
The table above shows today's national average per grade, refreshed daily. Yards in Louisiana 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 Louisiana buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Louisiana the largest number of buyers to compare are around Abbeville, New Orleans, and Shreveport. 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 Louisiana?
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 Louisiana yards on the same day.
How should I prepare aluminum before selling it in Louisiana?
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.
What do Louisiana yards require from sellers of aluminum?
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.
