What is the current price for scrap aluminum?
44 cents a pound for aluminum cans. if you are a scrapper collecting siding and such, then i think its only 40 cents or 41 cents a pound. i think a case of beer is about a little less than a pound empty cans. just imagine how many empty cases of beer you need to drink to buy another one for 12 bucks
