Zinc scrap in Arkansas
In Arkansas, zinc reaches the scrap stream by way of food processing, paper and forestry, and steel. Yards price zinc by grade: Zinc Die Cast. Keep Zinc Die Cast apart from Zinc Die Cast and mixed loads, because a mixed pile is paid at the lowest grade in it. Dozens of yards in Arkansas list zinc among what they buy, with the widest choice around Little Rock, Van Buren, and Hot Springs National Park. Regional demand from die-cast remelters and zinc alloy producers across the Southeast, plus nearby port access, supports steady zinc buying in Arkansas. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Arkansas yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

Which scrap yards in Arkansas buy zinc?
The yards listed on this page accept zinc. In Arkansas the largest number of buyers to compare are around Little Rock, Van Buren, and Hot Springs National Park. Call ahead to confirm which grades a yard takes and whether it is open for public drop-off.
How do I get the highest zinc price in Arkansas?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip chrome plating, steel inserts, and rubber bushings, and keep Zinc Die Cast separate from Zinc Die Cast. Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Arkansas yards on the same day.

Separate grades, remove chrome plating, steel inserts, and rubber bushings, and keep loads dry. Yards pay for the grade they can see, so mixed or dirty material is priced at the lowest grade in the pile.
