Aluminum Scrap Metal will usually be priced somewhere between 20 cents per pound to 70 cents per pound.

You will get better prices for having the aluminum scrap metal clean. If it is contaminated in any way (other metals junk steel ect) then it will get less than the current pure aluminum price.

As of June 2011 some general pricing is as follows:

Aluminum Cans $0.67/lb

Aluminum Cans - Crushed $0.70/lb

Painted Aluminum Siding $0.60/lb

Extruded Aluminum $0.70/lb

Here are some general prices for aluminum scrap metals as of early November 2011

Aluminum/Copper Fin (Clean) $1.20 /lb.

Aluminum Siding $0.52 /lb.

Aluminum/Copper Fin (Dirty) $1.05 /lb.

Aluminum Windows (broken) $0.48 /lb.

Sheet Aluminum $0.41 /lb.

Cast Aluminum $0.45 /lb.

scrap aluminum like other commodities fluctuates based upon market conditions (supply/demand) as well as prices established by the LME. Check online for current sources of scrap metals to make sure you are getting paid fair prices.
