How do I get the highest aluminum price in Maryland?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and keep Aluminum Extrusion separate from Aluminum (Mixed). Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Maryland yards on the same day.
