Aluminum scrap in Nevada
In Nevada, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of tourism, mining, and warehousing and logistics. 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. Across Nevada, well over a dozen yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in Las Vegas, Reno, and Sparks. West Coast ports and the regional mill base feed demand for rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants, though longer hauls to inland buyers can show in posted Nevada rates. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Nevada yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

Which scrap yards in Nevada buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Nevada the largest number of buyers to compare are around Las Vegas, Reno, and Sparks. 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 Nevada?
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 Nevada yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.

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.
