anyone know the average current value of scrap aluminium ???

or even better , a website to the values of scrap metal

 

ally is normally around Ł25-Ł35 a cwt, or Ł500-Ł700 a tonne.

varies a bit between scrap yards.

 

last thing i knew a few months ago ,was ally ( 90% pure) was fetching over Ł1000 a ton,
in december 2005 it was at Ł1057 a ton, so need a proper current site, as bone yards try and give you nothing for it, a metal recycler gives more than a scrap yard, just need a current value to make sure im not ripped off !!

Ł700 a ton, and im being ripped off

 

700 seems about rite

my sister works a a metal recyclers and gives the cash out and she just said that sounds about rite

but scrap metal can have its ups an downs and does change each month

 

you will get more if you bypass the scrap yards yes.

 

i looked at the reports for the whole of 2005 for the alumium market, the lowest it hit was just over Ł900 a ton, the highest was nearer to Ł1100

some people making alot of money buying it at Ł700 a ton

 

more people throw so much ally away its unbelievable - recycle baby !!!!

Ł1500 per Tonne for clean copper at the minute

 

thats what i wanted , looking like nearer the Ł900 marker then for what ive got in stock

 

kin ell.. no wonder engineers at our place keep the scrap copper pipes. 3k a tonne

 

its pretty simple really, even old alloy wheels will make more in weigh in than there retail value - ive got 11 wheels for sale in the for sale section, the value as scrap is more than im trying to sell them for
to the smelt they go

 

Markk,

try getting that though, it will be lower.

 

yeah i know everyones got to make a cut, the best prices ive seen are from the docks at liverpool direct, as thats where most of it goes anyway

 

alloy wheels will be worth less as they are an alloy and not pure alluminium.

they are a mixture of different alloys and not worth as much.

 

yes, Nortons,Shepards and EMR are all there.
