Pennsylvania has deep industrial aluminum heritage
Pennsylvania has one of the deepest industrial aluminum bases in the U.S. The Pittsburgh end of the corridor is the historic home of Alcoa (now Alcoa Corp HQ in Pittsburgh) and the broader American aluminum industry — extrusion, rolling, fabrication, and downstream operations are dense across Western and Central PA. Arconic, Howmet, and other aluminum-heavy operations all draw on regional scrap supply.
The Lehigh Valley adds DC-related UBC and packaging aluminum from major retail and 3PL operators. Philadelphia adds beverage co-packing, pharma packaging, and food/bev aluminum. The combination creates one of the highest-volume, highest-mix aluminum scrap markets in the country.

Pennsylvania aluminum pricing context
Aluminum tracks LME with grade-specific spreads. UBC has historically traded $0.50–$0.95/lb depending on cycle. Bare extrusion 6063 nets at small discount to LME. Cast aluminum at deeper discounts. Aerospace alloys (segregated, documented) at premiums. Lehigh Valley and Philly metro pickups typically net highest because of freight density. Pricing moves daily — call 800-449-5084.
FAQ — Selling Aluminum in Pennsylvania
Q: Can you handle Western PA industrial extrusion scrap?
A: Yes. Pittsburgh and Western PA’s deep aluminum manufacturing base generates substantial industrial extrusion scrap — bridge components, rail, structural, and large-section material. We have established processor and rolling-mill relationships for these grades and quote either as-is or pre-processed.
Q: Do you support aluminum closed-loop programs for PA fabricators?
A: Yes. For fabricators producing single-alloy clean offcut, closed-loop programs return your scrap value back through dedicated aluminum reprocessor placement. We coordinate the chain-of-custody documentation and end-market verification these programs require.
Q: How fast can you pick up Lehigh Valley aluminum?
A: Most LV ZIP codes get same-week pickup, often next-day for established accounts. NJ HQ proximity (1.5–3 hours) keeps freight cheap and dispatch fast. High-volume DC and packaging accounts get drop-trailer service.
Q: Do you handle aluminum turnings from PA machine shops?
A: Yes. Aluminum turnings from machine shops are a regular part of our PA book. Best pricing requires dry, oil-removed turnings — wet turnings sell at deeper discount. We will quote either way and help spec a centrifuge/dryer process if the math justifies investment.
