    Depends on what they're paying per ton and how much the doors weigh, since they're screen doors, probably weighing about 4 lbs a piece, I'm going to say like a dollar and a half.

    To quote an old saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Clean aluminum is bringing a pretty good price from the scrap metal dealers but painted aluminum like your siding is only worth about 1/3 as much as clean. If you want to improve the appearance of your house your most inexpensive option is to paint your aluminum siding.

    About 5 bucks. It really about the weight.

    It depends on the recycle center. go to www.earth911.org to find a local center and call for their rates.
