I have a trash bag full of crushed aluminum cans and I was wondering how much they're worth. I know aluminum is about .50 a pound but I would like to know how much I should expect to get. Thanks for any help.
26-28 cans per pound. Weigh em or count em. Do not trust the scrap yards. They will short change your weight every time.I have a trash bag full of crushed aluminum cans and I was wondering how much they're worth.

Well said beerdoodle. Make the scrap yard put the cans in the middle of the scale and not on the edge too. I have five trash bags waiting to go to the scrap yard.

Man, our scrap yard is great! I used to weigh my stuff before I took it, but they were always right on, sometimes getting more weight than what I weighed (probably since his scales are certified.) They always center the stuff on the scale, and are generally pretty pleasant to deal with. No complaints here! Curt
Per can!?!?! I am quitting my job and collecting cans!.10 cents apiece here in Michigan

metal guy wont touch crushed cans dude. he just get mad at you and say he dun take dirty aluminum. from my experience. metal guy likes good solid clean aluminum. metal guy might take it if you have a half ton of aluminum and about a garbage bag of cans to add to it...but grudgingly.
