scrapped a broken beach chair (aluminum) this weekend and some miscellaneous steel.

local yard paid me 40 cents a pound for aluminum and 11 cents a pound for the steel.

are these good prices? is tubular aluminum higher or lower grade than cans?

You did good LT.
Especially on the steel.

They really knock down the price for contaminated Al.
