I don't fallow you Christ, I haven't seen really any aluminum framed windows in the trash let alone ones that have the depth of the frame to hold the glass, collector, backer and have insulation in there, but with the cost of scrap aluminum I'll have to keep my eyes out more as I could then easly pay for new frames by collecting scrap and turning it in.
The aluminum that they have extruded for these frames has a profiles that looks kind of like an "E" and to make a weather tight corner you just cut the ends and drill a few holes for screws, the corresponding holes are in the extrusions already.
