In this Fallout 76 Aluminum Guide, we'll list all of the items you can scrap to get Aluminum, and also some great places to stock up, let's take a look.

Fallout 76 Aluminium Junk
So far we've only found one location that offers a particularly high quantity of Aluminium. It's in the Eastern Regional Penitentiary. This is a prison area that sits at the center of the map, we've included an image below. The area you'll want to focus on is the cafeteria inside the building. It is, rather unsurprisingly, filled with Dinner Trays. These can be collected and scrapped at Camp to get Aluminium. Loading back into a new server will respawn the Trays as well, so rinse and repeat! Alternatively, check out the table below for Junk Items that you can turn into Aluminium.
