Question on this ali

**mike1** · 06-07-2018, 10:32 PM

I got some corrugated barn roofing that is Ali. I was wondering is it old sheet or extrusion? Got about 3 sheets 55lbs if my scale is right.

If it has paint and corrosion on it or any attached steel then I would say old sheet, otherwise clean sheet. I've always had good luck selling corrugated metal to be re-purposed.

Is this painted corrugated roofing pic 2 from top? What's the price difference between sheet and old sheet? Pic 1 my yard says its mix and not extrusion why? Pic 3 do all yards buy plug end? Pic 4 that is a copper degausing cable. Were going to be getting rid of our 40 some inch Toshiba how much copper would b in that degausing cable a pound?

Painted is clean aluminum sheets with paint. Old sheet Will have screws, glue, other minor "dirt". Price difference in my area is around .20/lb.

Your extrusion needs to be 100% clean. No screws, no wood, no iron, nothing but pure extruded aluminum. Most yards accept painted extrusion as clean extrusion as well. If you cleaned that and they said it isnt extrusion, find a different yard because that piece once taken off the board and cleaned is extrusion, period.

Not sure what your asking about the copper?

Plug ends...not much value there, we buy them as scrap iron and mix them in with our shred....assuming they don't hold precious plated pins or interior contacts of some sort. If you have the time it night be worth pulling the brass, but it takes a ton of them to amount to anything and can be quite a hassle.

Yrs I know I can pull the brass it is quite a hassle that's why I was just gonna leave them and get dirty brass for them if that's possible unless you can melt the plastic off them? Yeah I was wanting to know if the degausing cable on a 40" something crt tv is a pound of copper? Is that the biggest cry tv they make?

My buyer wouldn't accept ends for dirty brass since the plastic weight is most likely over 50% of the total. Every buyer is different though. If they have a low percentage dirty price they may accept them.

Not sure on the TV. We gut them for the boards. Cables are usually off when they reach us but I doubt it would reach a lb. If I had to guess I would say 1/2 lb. at the most.
