Why is my scrap yard paying a different price for aluminum siding?
The figure here is a national average of prices posted by US scrap yards. Each yard sets its own price based on nearby mill demand, freight, how much you bring, and how it grades your load. Most reports fall between $0.570 and $0.836 per pound. Call two or three yards and ask what grade they would pay for your aluminum siding.
Do I need to pull out steel nails from aluminum siding?
Yes, if practical. Steel nails and screws add iron contamination. If a yard detects significant steel fasteners, the yard will deduct tare or downgrade your entire pile to irony aluminum (sheet breakage). A quick pass with a magnet finds fasteners fast.
Can I scrap vinyl siding with aluminum siding?
No. Vinyl siding is PVC plastic with zero scrap metal value, and scrap yards will reject it. Check with a quick bend test: aluminum bends and stays bent, while vinyl springs back or snaps.
