Aluminum scrap in Utah
Utah yards that buy aluminum draw most of their supply from technology, aerospace and defense, and mining. 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 Utah take aluminum, and sellers near Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Logan have the largest number of buyers to compare. Export demand through West Coast ports supports aluminum prices in Utah, while inland freight costs shape what individual yards post. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Utah yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

Frequently asked about aluminum in Utah
What is the aluminum scrap price in Utah today?
The table above shows today's national average per grade, refreshed daily. Yards in Utah quote around those numbers depending on how much you bring, how clean it is, and what it costs them to ship onward.
Which scrap yards in Utah buy aluminum?
The yards listed on this page accept aluminum. In Utah the largest number of buyers to compare are around Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Logan. 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 Utah?
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 Utah yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Utah 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 Utah 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.
