What's inside a Aluminum Patio Furniture (Piece)?
An aluminum-frame outdoor chair, table, or chaise from a typical residential patio set. Pays at clean aluminum extrusion rates when vinyl strapping, fabric, and plastic feet are removed first. Cast aluminum pieces (heavier and more decorative) carry a higher metal-to-mass ratio and yield the cleanest per-item payout. Steel-frame patio furniture is a separate entry and pays substantially less. Sets typically yield 30-150 lb total.

How to prep your Aluminum Patio Furniture (Piece) before scrapping
Strip vinyl strapping, sling fabric, and any cushions — these are weighed against the load and reduce the yard rate. Pull plastic glides from chair feet and remove rubber bumpers from table tops. Stack chairs and bundle table legs together for transport.
Why prep matters: Most yards pay different rates for clean vs. mixed material. An hour of prep can roughly double your payout per pound on copper-bearing items.

How are these prices calculated?
Each day we take metal spot prices from MetalpriceAPI and turn them into US average prices per scrap grade (spot × a grade factor; a few grades such as steel use fixed reference values). The calculator assumes a yard pays 50–70% of those grade prices, which gives the range you see. Full method.
Why a range?
Yards don't pay you the full grade price. They take a margin to cover transport, processing, and risk. The exact margin depends on grade quality, how clean the material is, local competition, and current end-buyer demand. The low end of our range is a conservative estimate; the high end is what well-prepared, clean material at a competitive yard can earn.
What affects your actual payout?
Preparation matters. Stripping copper wire to bare-bright roughly doubles the per-pound rate vs. selling it insulated. Removing brass fittings from copper pipe lets each metal sell at its proper grade instead of being downgraded to mixed. Quantity matters. Some yards offer better tiers for larger loads. Timing matters. Spot prices move daily; a 5% swing on copper is normal week-to-week.
Should I trust this estimate?
Treat it as a planning tool, not a guarantee. For large hauls, call two or three yards and ask for a per-pound quote on the specific grade. Don't haul anything more than 30 minutes without a quote — fuel costs add up. Most yards will quote over the phone if you describe the material accurately.
