I sell my tin as soon as I get my 16ft flatbed filler, and I am stashing my copper (including the insulated wire), brass and lead waiting until the prices go back up, but I am on the fence as far as aluminum goes. Any thoughts?

| I haven't cashed in aluminum cans in about a year and a half. 35 cents a pound just doesn't seem fair to me right now. I'll keep on waiting. |
So long, Realcent 1. Come visit us at Realcent.org! |

| Actually, I meant aluminum other than cans. Sorry, did not clarify myself in the original post. |

| I am saving it. But when you get too much, like steel you just need to unload. I have lot's of painted Alum and will need to move it. I do keep the Extruded until the price goes up as you get the most for extruded! Doing the same with copper and ins wire. They don't take up as much space. |

| How do you tell the extruded aluminum? What is it used for? |

| As are we. We are sitting on about 14,000 pounds of Aluminum right now. All types, sheet, cast, solids, extruded. We were getting over .60 cents a pound for sheet and cast out in Denver two weeks ago. We did a huge computer recycling job out there, over 55,000 pound of metals, PCB's, copper, etc. |

Holy Cow, very nice. 7 tons of aluminum will bring a chunk of change. Each penny uptick for you means an extra $140. My couple of hundred pounds is puny by comparison. |

True it is a lot. But remember, this is what I do full time 24/7/365. I have been sitting on this stuff for a year or better.
There have been times when a couple of hundred pounds was all I had as well. It's out there, you just have to find it! |

| Suddenly the scrap run I just got back from seems pretty small! I even had stuff hanging out of the trunk of the Lincoln! |
Are you throwing that out? |
