Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with scrap metal lately, you know, trying to make a few extra bucks. And I’ve been focusing on aluminum because, well, it’s everywhere. Cans, old window frames, you name it. I was curious about the prices in California, specifically for a pound of aluminum.
I started my little quest for knowledge by hitting up the internet. Just typing in “precio por libra de aluminio en california” or “aluminum price per pound in California.” Found some information about the scrap yards and recycling centers around Los Angeles.
Here’s what I did:
- First, I made a list of all the scrap yards and recycling centers I could find in my area in California.
- Then, I started calling them up. Yeah, old school, I know. But I wanted to get the most up-to-date prices, you know?
- I asked them straight up, “What’s your current price for a pound of aluminum?” Some places were cool about it, gave me the price right away. Others were a bit more, shall we say, “guarded” with their information.
- Also, I checked the prices paid by scrap yards in different cities in California.
- Finally, I checked the charts of aluminum from international markets.
What I Found Out
From what I gathered, the price can change a lot. Some places are paying around $0.25 per pound, while others might go a little higher. It depends on the type of aluminum you’ve got, too. Clean, separated stuff will get you a better price than a mixed bag of who-knows-what.
I found some information about the average price of aluminum cast scrap in Los Angeles, which is around $0.25 per pound. But that was just one place. Also, I found some recycling centers that offered competitive prices for aluminum cans, around $0.25 to $0.75.
Also, I noticed that some scrap yards are faster than others. I read some comments saying, “Always fast and direct,” and others like “Easy access. Quick service.”
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure in the world of scrap aluminum prices in California. It’s not exactly rocket science, but hey, it’s something. And who knows, maybe I’ll be able to turn those old cans into some real cash.
It’s a bit of a hustle, but it’s kinda fun. Plus, it’s good for the environment, right? Recycling and all that. Anyway, I just thought I’d share my experience. Maybe it’ll help someone else out there who’s thinking about getting into the scrap metal game.
