The last I knew, Alcoa was paying for them some time ago. With much of the area recycling through their garbage hauling systems, there is not as much opportunity for individuals. The curb side and other recycling systems are turning those cans in, for money, to help off-set their recycling set-up and operational costs. This has affected the market for individuals in a number of different ways.



Also, check with the metal recyclers or metal scrappers. As of 5 (maybe plus) years ago, some were still paying for aluminum cans; and more so for those in South King, North Pierce. One of the issues in the area is that once municipalities started recycling metals and other materials, many of the individual scrappers began to get squeezed out of the market.
With the popularity of curbside recycling, people are paying recyclers to take their recyclables including aluminum cans so why would anyone pay you for your cans when other people are paying them to take their cans?Where can I find a recycling plant in the Seattle area that will except Aluminum cans for money?
Try the nearest junkyard. Oh and I'm sure you mean accept not except.
Click that big link at the bottom of my answer for a google map of seattle that has "metal recycling" searched. Call up one of these places durring their business hours and ask what they prices are. Shop around until you find the yard that pays the best price or is closest to your home; whichever makes this more profitable for you. Then when you bring the cans into the yard, they will weigh them in and pay you according to weight.

Aluminum cans can be easily sold for money. The price you are payed is usually very little, because aluminum cans weigh almost nothing. It takes 32 aluminum cans to make a pound. The current price of aluminum cans at a scrap yard is between .50-.75 cents per pound. So if you save up 60 cans, you will get at least $1 but no more than $1.50.

There are much more valuable things that can be sold to a scrap yard ( aka metal recycler). Copper is $3/pound. regular aluminum is about $.50 per pound. Lead is at least $.25 and mixed steel is $.09 per pound. You will find it much easier to accumulate 1 pound of copper than you will you accumulate 1 pound of aluminum cans. A decent few pounds of phone chargers would get you close to 4 dollars based on the copper wire content and the transformer in its base. For example, a car battery, which is mostly lead, can be sold to a scrap yard as is for $5-$8 solely for it's metal content.

Broken appliances, car parts, computer parts, and anything made of even partly metal (ie a broken vacuum cleaner) can be sold to a scrap yard for money based on its metal content.
