Georgia is a high-volume aluminum origination market

Georgia produces strong aluminum scrap volumes from a few converging sources. The Atlanta metro distribution center concentration generates UBC and packaging aluminum from major retail and food/bev operations. Hyundai Motor Group’s Ellabell EV plant and the Kia Georgia plant in West Point — plus their dense Tier-1/Tier-2 supplier base — produce substantial extrusion, sheet stamping scrap, and cast offcut. Coca-Cola’s Atlanta HQ anchors a beverage co-packer base producing aluminum can and lid scrap. The Port of Savannah supports container export of mixed and segregated aluminum grades.

Georgia is also adjacent to the Southeast aluminum smelting and rolling base — Alabama and Tennessee have major aluminum operations creating regional demand for Georgia-origin scrap.

Georgia aluminum pricing context

Aluminum pricing tracks the LME (London Metal Exchange) for primary aluminum, with scrap grades discounted off LME by grade-specific spreads. UBC has historically traded $0.50–$0.95/lb depending on LME and processor demand. Bare extrusion 6063 typically nets a small discount to LME. Cast aluminum trades at deeper discounts. Turnings and borings discount further because of moisture and oil content. Pricing moves daily with LME — call 800-449-5084 for a current bid.

FAQ — Selling Aluminum in Georgia

Q: How is aluminum pricing actually set?
A: Aluminum scrap pricing is set against the LME (London Metal Exchange) primary aluminum cash settlement, with each grade trading at a published discount or “spread” off LME. We quote either as a fixed price or as “LME minus X cents” so you get transparent market exposure. Pricing changes daily.

Q: Do you handle Tier-1 auto supplier aluminum scrap?
A: Yes. Auto extrusion, sheet stamping, and cast scrap from the Hyundai/Kia supplier ecosystem is a core part of our Georgia book. We support segregated single-source loads, PPAP-style documentation, and the chain-of-custody auto OEMs require for closed-loop or verified recycling programs.

Q: Can I sell aluminum turnings if they’re mixed with cutting fluid?
A: Turnings with cutting fluid sell at a deeper discount than dry turnings — moisture and oil content lower yield at the smelter. Best practice is to dry or centrifuge before pickup. We will quote either way and help you spec a process improvement if the math favors investment.

Q: Do you handle UBC programs for retail or stadium operations?
A: Yes. Retail, stadium, and event-venue UBC programs are routine — typically baled or briquetted on-site. We provide pickup on regular schedules and consolidated reporting for multi-site retail accounts.
