Zinc scrap in Kansas
In Kansas, zinc reaches the scrap stream by way of aerospace, agriculture, and oil and gas. 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 Kansas list zinc among what they buy, with the widest choice around Wichita, Kansas City, and Topeka. Because die-cast remelters and zinc alloy producers are concentrated across the Midwest, Kansas yards rarely sit on zinc for long. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Kansas yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
