Aluminum scrap in Oregon
The Oregon market for aluminum scrap follows the state's mix of technology hardware, forestry, and food processing. 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 Oregon, dozens of yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in Portland, Eugene, and Albany. 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 Oregon rates. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Oregon yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
