I am new to scrapping so please be patient with me. I have 85 HEPA filters (unused) that have expired. They have an extruded aluminum frame and the paper filter material. I started to tear one apart and see what's what with them. The paper tore out easily and I found aluminum strips in the paper. The problem I have is that the inside of the aluminum frame has plastic glued to it and there is foam tape all around one side. To get the best price for the aluminum should I try and remove the plastic and stuff? These frames are pretty heavy and thick. The filters measure 20.625" x 44.625" x 5.875". I greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks for your time.

add an h t t p : / / to the address below to see an image of the filter. (It won't let me post a link)
