Aluminum scrap in Nebraska
Nebraska yards that buy aluminum draw most of their supply from agriculture, food processing, insurance, and rail logistics. Yards price aluminum by grade: Aluminum (Mixed), Aluminum Cans, and Aluminum Extrusion. Keep Aluminum Extrusion apart from Aluminum (Mixed) and mixed loads, because a mixed pile is paid at the lowest grade in it. Across Nebraska, dozens of yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in Omaha, Hastings, and Norfolk. Because rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants are concentrated across the Midwest, Nebraska yards rarely sit on aluminum for long. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Nebraska yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

Frequently asked about aluminum in Nebraska
What is the aluminum scrap price in Nebraska today?
This page lists the current US national average for every aluminum grade, updated daily from commodity markets. Nebraska yards set their own rates around that figure based on volume, prep, and local freight, so use it as a baseline and confirm by phone.
Which scrap yards in Nebraska buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Nebraska the largest number of buyers to compare are around Omaha, Hastings, and Norfolk. 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 Nebraska?
Clean material earns the top of the board: remove attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, separate Aluminum Extrusion from lower grades, and bring ID. Calling two or three Nebraska yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Nebraska yard?
Sorting is the single biggest lever: keep grades apart, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and avoid mixing in anything the yard has to hand-sort. Dry, clean loads weigh and price honestly.
What do Nebraska 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.
