Thanks in advance kids! Is it me or is this price for dirty aluminum a bit low for 6/1/14 in Southern California? Thanks in advance for the looks and the replies! Some of the yard owners wear a lot of USC gear ($65k/year whewww!!!) Maybe they are paying off their student loans LOL!
I think it should depend on just how "dirty" it is. One little screw or half the weight is iron then there should be a difference in pricing, or thats what I would think. Mike.

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

we sell as old aluminum which can contain 5-10% contamination. example would be frying pans with handle. going rate of .50 - .55 per pound.

I have always been disappointed with the price of anything dirty. Copper aluminum ect.
Google first ask questions later!

Guess you will just have to clean it then
I've never sold any dirty as dirty though.. I mean it would have gone to shred.
In my case, too little of it does not get cleaned.

Here's one for ya. A yard by me is paying 1.25# for clean cu/al heat sinks but if it has steel on it the price drops to .20#. Needless to say I only sold the clean one's.

I did a load of aluminum Friday all sorted, they weighed it all at once and paid me .45# they didn't care .45 was all they were paying.
