Aluminum scrap in Ohio
In Ohio, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of automotive manufacturing, steel, plastics, and healthcare. 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 Ohio list aluminum among what they buy, with the widest choice around Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Because rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants are concentrated across the Midwest, Ohio yards rarely sit on aluminum for long. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Ohio yards set their own rates around them based on volume, prep, and freight, so call ahead with your grade and weight for a firm quote.

What is the aluminum scrap price in Ohio today?

Which scrap yards in Ohio buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Ohio the largest number of buyers to compare are around Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. 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 Ohio?
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 Ohio yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
How should I prepare aluminum before selling it in Ohio?
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 Ohio 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.
