I saw a quote of about $1.14/lb. I don't scrap aluminum but may pick up some cans on my bike rides to give a buddy if it is worth him to take to the recycler. What is a pound of aluminum in cans, about 30 or so?
I just sold 4200 pounds of mixed cast & old sheet and was happy to get 50 cents a pound. I'd love to see a dollar a pound around here, I have 6 more tons of the stuff stock piled.

My local recycler is doing 45 cents; at the height of aluminum prices I was getting 80 cents a pound.

$1.14 must be one of the 10 states with a redemption value. Can't be CA since the minimum here is $1.57 per pound. So it must be one of the other 9 states or just Jerry pulling our leg. There are approximately 31.4 alumimum cans per pound.
Scrap price of alumimum at the wholesale level is up over 25% from the bottom, but it still has a ways to go.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

our local yard here in south Houston...$0.31 lb for cans a long way off from summer of '08 prices..it seems prices are much better in other parts of the country....I guess I will turn up the spigot on my oil well to offset the difference. ;-)
[quoteI'll stick to copper. Easier to store copper in pennies. My wife would not understand bags of crushed cans laying about. [/quote]
I'll make you some aluminum ingots if youd like.
