    My yard is at 1.52 on clean coils, most of the coils are older so there is a lot of corrosion on the aluminum along with a fair amout of dirt and grime. Any aluminum I did recover would go as old sheet (currently .50 a pound). If the copper went as #1 (doubtful because of the corrosion) it would bring 2.85 a pound. If they yeilded 50/50 on the cu/al then it would average 1.67 a pound for a difference of .15 a pound. Since I only recycle part time cleaning a 1000 pounds of coils a month wouldn't be an efficient use of time for me.
