I have not been so crazy about them flat rating my aluminum even if I sort it and Dapper's aluminum prices are a lot higher than mine except for breakage. I should know this, but what exactly is breakage?

Probably Cast (breakable).

According to my yard here, breakage aluminum is anything still on it that sticks to a magnet. Say you break up a garage door, taking the plastic fiberglass panels out and call it good and leave rivets and screws in there, then they call that breakage.

Here, that's called "Irony Aluminum".

I get aluminum breakage price for things like weed wackers that have aluminum blocks and aluminum guards. It is almost half aluminum by weight, so they buy it at a special price worth more then shred, but far less then aluminum.

I couldn't tell you their current price, because anything that has that much aluminum, I usually break down before bringing it in.
