How do I get the highest aluminum price in Vermont?
Clean material earns the top of the board: remove attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, separate Aluminum Extrusion from lower grades, and bring ID. Calling two or three Vermont yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
What prep gets the highest aluminum price at a Vermont yard?
Sorting is the single biggest lever: keep grades apart, strip attached steel screws, plastic trim, and paint, and avoid mixing in anything the yard has to hand-sort. Dry, clean loads weigh and price honestly.
Do I need ID to sell aluminum scrap in Vermont?
Scrap yards routinely ask for a government photo ID and record the sale, and state law often requires it for metal purchases. Bring ID, expect a photo of the load, and ask whether the yard pays cash or check.
