What do you do with old aluminum siding? Can you sell it?

Hey this might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if old aluminum siding has any value being sold back to someone who buys scrap metal.

Does anyone do this on your flips if you're updating from old aluminum to new vinyl siding?

    Take it to a metal recycling place. Yes, you should get paid for it. Don't just leave it laying around after you're pulled it off, or it will grow legs.

    Not a stupid question! metal recycling place for sure!

    and like he said, IT will grow legs! We had a property that we bought and two guys drove up to the house in the daylight and stole the aluminum siding right off of the house!

    LOL! The house was going to be torn down anyway, we didnt care but it was the whole point.

    If it is the thicker size, I believe around 6" lath and you have a place to save it, do so or advertise it for sale. You can make much more money selling it to rehabbers then for scrap. It is very hard to come by. I could use a few pieces myself for a project.
