Scrap prices are down
 

Cleaned up the shop today... and went to the scrapyard...

steel (dirty light)- 360 lbs @ $.09 = $32
Aluminum Alloy - 130 lbs @ $.67 = $87
brass - 23 lbs @ $1.30 = $30
copper - 1 lb @ $2.35 = $2

$150 for 514 lbs, hope china puts it to good use.


A few months ago there used to be trucks around the block waiting to weigh and dump, today, I was one of 2 trucks unloading.

yea, it sucks

actually looking at these graphs, I guess they're rebounding a bit...

Scrap prices need to come down, and copper especially.

High scrap prices really help thieves, but don't help the rest of us so much.

Story in the news around here las month about a guy who was mowing his lawn and shut his mower off to go inside for a minute. Comes back out and his lawnmower is gone!:eek: Scumbags!:mad:

About a month ago, I put a ceiling fan out by the curb the night before trash pickup. The gf says to me "they won't take that". I told her: "Are you kidding me?. It'll be gone before the trash men get there." It was. ;) (I was glad he didn't leave the paddles behind!:D)
