ally is normally around £25-£35 a cwt, or £500-£700 a tonne.

varies a bit between scrap yards.

last thing i knew a few months ago ,was ally ( 90% pure) was fetching over £1000 a ton,
in december 2005 it was at £1057 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 !!

£700 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

i looked at the reports for the whole of 2005 for the alumium market, the lowest it hit was just over £900 a ton, the highest was nearer to £1100

some people making alot of money buying it at £700 a ton

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

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.
