It should not be, but the big buyers of UBC's want only can stock thats why cans pay more. I try and mix the pie pans in with my MLC aluminium. And am going to add any aluminium foil that I have to my dirty alum when I turn it in...

PM Ray. There's no one here who recycles more pie tins than Ray.

I recycled 11 lbs. I got them from a function that the VFW put on... cleaned them all only got $.10 a pound. I am glad that they are getting recycled, and I think my local scrap yard treats me fair... I was just wondering what makes them worth so much less.

I take a lot of that type of stuff and smash it with a sledge hammer and then put in the aluminum can and smash the can. I get the AL can price for them.
