ALUMINUM

[Salvor6]

What is aluminum going for now? I know the local scrap yards do not pay the price quoted in the newspaper.

It varies by the yard, best to call ahead to get a quote. We only get 40 cents/lb here for Aluminum, 55 cents/lb for Aluminum cans. But I know it's up to $1.00/lb elsewhere.

Was quoted 1.07 on 6061 for 10 to 15,000 lbs at the regional level and .97 on the local level. Thats in Ocala florida.
If you have alot of weight call and discuss it , they maybe able to pre- re sell it at a better price.
If it's just left over odds and ends from your blower fabrications etc. call around for your best local price.
5052 has been running a few cents over the 6061 on pricing.

I sold 200 lbs of sheet (old roofing material) today at $.71 a pound. Most of the roof is corrugated tin. Any idea on what that stuff is going for?
