I phoned a few places to see if they would buy aluminum siding as scrape metal, and Federal Metals does. It was an easy transaction and instead of throwing out the siding, I made $37 just off the siding on the front of my house. Think about this the next time you want to replace your aluminum siding. It was worth it for me to remove the aluminum siding to see the quality of the sheathing underneath, make the necessary repairs, then hire a professional to install vinyl siding, this saved me a lot of money.
