How much is a pound aluminum?

Answer 1

Aluminum Scrap Metal will usually be priced somewhere between 20 cents per pound to 70 cents per pound. (As of 2016, the national average for recycled aluminum cans was about 50 cents per pound.)

Lower grades of aluminum or dirty aluminum (aluminum mixed with other materials or having insulation) will command a lower value then clean heavy aluminum scrap. for example - see some example aluminum scrap prices below for mid June 2011, the price per pound.

Old Sheet Aluminum $ 0.63

Extruded Aluminum $ 0.90

Irony Aluminum $ 0.18
