How yards handle a aluminium patio furniture (per piece)
Aluminium outdoor furniture is weighed as extrusion, which is a good grade, but only if the yard sees clean aluminium. Fabric webbing, cushions, plastic feet and glass table tops must come off first, and any steel bolts, springs or bracing should be removed or the whole piece drops to irony aluminium. That is the one mistake that matters. Cutting frames down to fit the trailer is fine and does not affect the grade. The steel hardware is not worth selling; just take it off. A single chair is a small transaction and not worth a trip, but an outdoor setting with a table and six chairs adds up to a worthwhile aluminium load, especially combined with a ladder or ute tray.
