Acutally, the price for new, freshly extruded, and pulled on the west coast Aluminum , is at <$2.00/lb. I buy roughly 50,000 lbs of aluminum bi-monthly and the price has been in a downward trend for the past few months. I have a company out of seattle buying my scrap/rems for near $1.00/lb. they deliver and pick up containers for me to fill, then pay for each pound I give them.
