About AL Extrusion

What Is Aluminum Extrusion Scrap?

Aluminum extrusion scrap refers to leftover aluminum pieces created during the extrusion process, where raw aluminum is heated and pushed through a die to form specific shapes. These include window frames, car parts, door handles, structural tubing, and more. While many people refer to it as a “type” of aluminum, extrusion is actually the process—the grade of aluminum (like 6063 or 6061) determines its actual value.

Use the iScrap App to find nearby scrap yards that accept aluminum extrusion scrap and view local pricing.

Common Examples of Aluminum Extrusion Scrap

Extrusion scrap is found in many household and commercial products. Examples include:

  • Window and door frames
  • Aluminum trays and pans
  • Structural tubing and conduit
  • Car parts and bike frames
  • Aluminum toys and electronics
  • Furniture and shelving components

Remember: for the best price, your aluminum extrusion should be clean—free of plastic, rubber, screws, dirt, or other non-metallic contaminants.

Aluminum Extrusion Scrap Prices: What Impacts Value?

Scrap yards will pay different rates depending on several factors:

  • Grade: 6063 and 6061 fetch higher prices than lower grades
  • Cleanliness: Clean extrusions = higher value
  • Market demand: Scrap aluminum prices fluctuate with global supply & demand
  • Local yard pricing: Use the iScrap App to compare rates nearby
