Al is 1.60/LB

If that's the correct price then there should be your market your looking for. Around here alum. sheet is like .55 and cast is .60 and cans are .80

PS; welcome to the forum, your off to a good start.

Aloha Jscrap.....good to have you with us...best of luck to you.

Was curious....I have thrown my AL in a large barrel but it's just not something I get a lot of so i've thrown it all in together. Question...Can I just haul it in that way since to me it doesn't seem I have enough of any certain kind to separate? And what would it go as if i did.Thanks in advance.

just save it up, deadhead.....50-60 cents a lb. instead of your 8-10 cents for steel/iron/tin. I usually get 15-20 lbs a week of aluminum, but it takes a lot longer to save a bucket full of stainless, brass, lead, etc. But I think it's worth it.

I have a real problem saving up when I walk by that pile everyday...; )...guessing I need to get serious with it and learn the grades of AL to max my profits...thanks dee.
