Can anyone give me an idea on what the scrap price off an alloy greenhouse frame would be? 8 x 6 foot

    Been weighing up the ally greenhouses on local allotments. the noise from dismantling them is bit risky.

    the cash price is about £1660, so for the small amount you be looking at maybe 40-60% of that, greenhouse is maybe about 20-30kilos so my guess would be £15-25

    does'nt sound much but if you can dismantle 10 in one night thats easy money.

    the only worry is how pure is the metal used in greehouse's?

    aluminium alloy get's you $300 less per ton.
