Aluminum scrap in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of manufacturing, paper and forestry, and dairy. 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 Wisconsin, dozens of yards accept aluminum; the largest clusters are in Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Fond Du Lac. Midwest mills, auto plants, and rail links put Wisconsin yards close to the consuming buyers of rolling mills, can sheet producers, and extrusion billet plants.

Which scrap yards in Wisconsin buy aluminum?
Dozens of yards in Wisconsin list aluminum among the materials they buy; the yards on this page are the ones we have on record, with the largest concentration around Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Fond Du Lac. Confirm grades and hours before you drive.
How do I get the highest aluminum price in Wisconsin?
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 Wisconsin yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
