Current aluminum can prices in Phoenix.?

What is the current can prices being paid from salvage companies in the Phoenix area?

The Expert answers:

Aluminum cans are the real success story of the recycling movement. By far, the most valuable component in the consumer waste stream, they enjoy the greatest public recognition as a recycled household item. With historical values from $.35 to $.75 US per pound ($775 to $1,655 US per Metric Ton) aluminum cans are often the economic backbone of municipal and private recycling programs. The price can fluctuate with the commodity price for new aluminum, but aluminum can scrap has always had a strong price in comparison to other recyclables, Goodl Luck.

hey everyone im gonna start puting pop cans in a grocery bag and taking them every saturday to the milliron to be recycling and i was wondering how much money would i get out of recycling pop cans if i took a few bags each week and how many pop cans do i need to make 1 pound because here in ohio when you recycle you get 58 cents per pound of pop cans and im gonna start recycling pop cans each saturday.

The Expert answers:

I have been recycling pop cans for years and when I turn in 3 large plastice bags, not crushed, I always get a few dollars. I don’t know the price today. My grandson took my last batch. Unless you don’t have the space or the transportation it is worth doing for a few extra dollars and to save the landfills.

>>ok my English teacher Mrs. Berneche she ask us gr 8s, what issues and solutions there are to help save the environment. So i thought of the idea if our school became a recycle plant, so then we could send the money, we made to the school we adopted in Kenya.

The Expert answers:

Recycling deposits are different for each state. The amounts for some states are printed on the bottles and cans. You also have glass and aluminum in some states. Look up recycling in your phone book and call a recycling center near you. They will gladly give you the price for anything they accept. Yes, I think that is a great idea.

Mandy asks…

Recycling Aluminum Cans?

About how much money is one aluminum can worth?

The Expert answers:

Howdy

Well it takes about 25 to make a pound..You can of course figure it from there..We used to get about 70 cents a pound so they were almost 3 cents a piece. They bring about one-half that at this time. Just hold them to later in the year. The price generally goes up when it starts to get cold.

Good Picking.

Can you recycle vibrators?

I have a few old vibrators that don’t work anymore and I’m quite passionate about protecting the environment so it seems silly to just throw these items away because they’re slightly “taboo”! So does anybody know of any place I can send them to get them recycled?

The Expert answers:
