Aluminum scrap in Missouri
In Missouri, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of automotive manufacturing, agriculture, and aerospace. 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 Missouri list aluminum among what they buy, with the widest choice around Saint Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. Midwest mills, auto plants, and rail links put Missouri yards close to the consuming buyers of rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants.
