Aluminum scrap in Wyoming
In Wyoming, aluminum reaches the scrap stream by way of energy, mining, and agriculture. The grades yards commonly quote are Aluminum (Mixed), Aluminum Cans, and Aluminum Extrusion; Aluminum Extrusion usually earns the top rate and Aluminum (Mixed) the lowest, so sorting before you arrive pays. A dozen or so yards in Wyoming take aluminum, and sellers near Cheyenne, Casper, and Cody have the largest number of buyers to compare. 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 Wyoming rates. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Wyoming yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
