Aluminum scrap in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania yards that buy aluminum draw most of their supply from steel, healthcare, energy, and food processing. 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 Pennsylvania take aluminum, and sellers near Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown have the largest number of buyers to compare. The Northeast corridor of mills, refiners, and ports keeps downstream buyers close, which tends to hold Pennsylvania yard rates near the national benchmark. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Pennsylvania yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

How do I get the highest aluminum price in Pennsylvania?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and keep Aluminum Extrusion separate from Aluminum (Mixed). Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Pennsylvania yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania yards require from sellers of aluminum?
Expect to show a photo ID and have the transaction logged; scrap metal purchase records are standard practice and required by law in much of the country. Some Pennsylvania yards also photograph the material and pay by check for larger amounts.
