My new favorite item. Now I am disappointed when I find plastic blinds.

i brought some in twice. they were questionable when i had them, as the paint seemed to weigh more than the AL itself, but they took them as old sheet.

i even asked the grader before i put them on the scale, and he assured me it was good to go with old sheet

What's old sheet? Why would aluminum blinds be old sheet.

I used to get these all the time along with ceiling fans when picking through my old apartment complexs nine dumpsters.
The maintenance team would always throw the stuff out from remodels and what not.
Gotta love it, it's like free cash, barely any work at all with those blinds.

Last time I took a few to the yard they classified it as 'aluminum siding' @ 50 cents a pound.
good stuff

Almost all blinds even non aluminum wood/plastic have an extrusion rod inside the top bar. Sometimes that top bar is also aluminum and sometimes extrusion.
